HALKI

Halki is a little island of the Dodecanese, located just 6 km west of Rhodes. Its secluded location has shaped it up to be one of the best destinations for relaxing holidays! Its proximity to Rhodes island makes it a great destination for quick getaways from Rhodes. You can reach the tiny island by daily ferries to Halki from the little port of Ancient Kamiros in Rhodes.

The main town of Halki is Nimporio, where the port of the island is also located. Nimporio is a quaint little village on the eastern side of Chalki that boasts beautiful traditional architecture. The seafront of Nimporio is lined up with cafeterias, restaurants, and shops, while it is the best place to enjoy long walks by the sea. There used to be another village in Halki, Chorio, which was abandoned in the 19th century when its inhabitants moved to Nimporio. Today, there’s a Medieval castle worth visiting on a hill above Chorio village.

Halki beaches are beautiful and have crystal clear waters, ideal for swimming! Most of the island’s organized beaches are located close to Nimporio and are easily accessible on foot or by bus. The beaches that are far from Nimporio are secluded and unorganized, perfect for those who seek peace and privacy!

Thanks to its beautiful natural landscape, Halki is one of the best destinations for hiking and long walks, so you better pack your walking shoes when traveling to Halki!
