Wander the cobblestone streets and experience the medieval flair of this top-of-the-list city, marvel at the ancient architecture straight off of a movie set, and enjoy some delicious food in one of the fine restaurants. Back on Kolocep Island, as Kalamota Island is officially called, there\u2018s also a whole world of wonder to discover. The Kalamota Island map shows it all: Experience the dramatic cliffs of Placet beach in the south of the island as you use the winding stairs to go down for a swim in the crystal-clear water. The Blue Cave is another must-do activity for snorkelling and swimming, and there are also some medieval churches to explore that shouldn\u2019t be missed, not just for history buffs. You can walk across the entire island on a stroll connecting the only two small settlements, or go kayaking to see the island from the water and change perspective for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kayak-kolocep-croatia-tui_349331-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Two women kayaking on the clear water near Kolocep (Kalamota), Croatia\" class=\"wp-image-48439\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kayak-kolocep-croatia-tui_349331-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kayak-kolocep-croatia-tui_349331-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kayak-kolocep-croatia-tui_349331-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kayak-kolocep-croatia-tui_349331-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kayak-kolocep-croatia-tui_349331-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kayak-kolocep-croatia-tui_349331-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kayak-kolocep-croatia-tui_349331-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kayak-kolocep-croatia-tui_349331-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kayak-kolocep-croatia-tui_349331-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Get ready for a kayaking trip in Croatia and take a glance at the clear water and what is below<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kalamota Island weather \u2013 a sun-lover\u2019s dream<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the winters can be chilly, May to October bring the warm temperatures and blue skies you want and deserve for amazing holidays. In a Kalamota Island resort, you can make the most of your hard-earned holiday time. Spring and autumn are ideal for outdoor activities, such as kayaking, walking, or exploring Dubrovnik before the summer crowds \u2014 and temperatures \u2014 arrive. The summer months can be busy with families on their summer holidays, but in an adult-only Kalamota Island hotel, Croatia can feel a world away. July and August can be scorching hot, with the average temperature just below 30\u00b0 C. But hot summers also mean that you can count rainy days on one hand, if that. And what\u2019s better than a sunshine guarantee on holiday?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tui-blue-kalamota-island-nordic-walking.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tui-blue-kalamota-island-nordic-walking.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tui-blue-kalamota-island-nordic-walking-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tui-blue-kalamota-island-nordic-walking-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tui-blue-kalamota-island-nordic-walking-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tui-blue-kalamota-island-nordic-walking-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tui-blue-kalamota-island-nordic-walking-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tui-blue-kalamota-island-nordic-walking-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tui-blue-kalamota-island-nordic-walking-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Discover the island and its natural habitat on Nordic Walking tours with your loved ones and a BLUE Guide<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kalamota Island \u2013 Croatia city, beach, and beyond<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve enjoyed all the activities on Kalamota Island, you will enjoy our suggestions for the rest of the country.
