Castle, Ruins, Lookout

The medieval castle is Chalki’s most significant monument and landmark, standing on the strategically important 280-metre-high hill of St Nicholas. From here, there are stunning views of the entire southern coast of the island and the town of Chalki. It was precisely thanks to this location that the castle served as an excellent defensive structure. [btn "The 10 best places to stay in Chalki" https://www.booking.com/region/gr/halki-island.en…

Village, Promenade

The harbour village of Chalki is the only inhabited settlement on the island, and almost all of its inhabitants live here. This beautifully maintained and clean little town stretches out around the harbour, featuring a lovely pedestrian promenade, numerous tavernas and several souvenir shops, as well as small supermarkets.

Pebble beach

Pondamos, sometimes spelled Pontamos or Potamos, is the largest and best-maintained beach on the island of Chalki.

Stony Beach, Pebble beach

The small Kania beach is situated in a narrow cove with beautifully clear water, about 2.5 km north of the harbour in the town of Emporio (Chalki). This beach is the ideal spot for a peaceful break completely away from built-up areas; however, due to its small size, it can get quite crowded despite its seclusion – particularly on Saturdays and Sundays.

Stony Beach

The small beach of Ftenagia lies just under 1 km south of the centre of Chalki, near the windmills. Of the three best-known and most easily accessible beaches on the island of Chalki, we liked Ftenagia the least, mainly because of the poor access to the water. On the other hand, if you prefer peace and quiet to swimming, Ftenagia actually offers perhaps the best conditions. [btn "The 10 best places to stay on Chalki" https://www.booking.com…
