Description

Kimolos tiene una característica realmente interesante. Cuando llueve, la isla se cubre de espuma de jabón. El suelo en Kimolos consiste en arcilla de jabón, un jabón natural que los lugareños utilizan como jabón regular. El suelo es rico en barita de mirada plateada y bentonita, mientras que su tiza (arcilla mineral blanca), adecuada para producir jabón o polvo, se utiliza en medicina. Ha sido famoso desde la antigüedad. Ley el Elde ya informó sobre esta peculiar característica de la isla. Contiene caolín. Conocido en tiempos antiguos como "tierra kimolea", se utilizaba como jabón para lavar ropa. Hoy en día, se utiliza principalmente en la industria del papel, en cerámica, en caucho y en la industria del cemento. Se encuentra en la costa sur de la isla, pero se extrae solo en el área de Kalamitsi.
