Halki demands for strong feet because you will do a lot of walking on the island. Or at least, get a motorbike with you to tour all over Halki.
While the ferry was approaching the island, it striked me as a very beautiful place. I am visiting Greece for more than 7 years on the row and I didn't even know about this island. I usually stuck in the famous destinations, but this summer I said why not try something less expected, less popular? So, I came for three days in Halki and a week in Rhodes (for something more cosmopolitan).
The only village in Halki is around the port and I figured that if it wasn't for tourism, the island doesn't have many sources, maybe fishing in winter, but still the place is too small for big developments. People are warm and kind and you will see far less gift shops than usually in other islands.
There are some small beaches to swim, but you have to walk there. Most people go to Potamos, about 20 minutes trekking from the village. Not a dificult route, but in hot days it gets tiring. Do not try to book rooms through the Internet, they will probably not answer you. Better call and communicate in simple English.
