Castle, Ruins, Lookout

The medieval castle is the most important monument and landmark of Chalka and stands on the strategically important 280 m high St. Nicholas Hill. It offers stunning views of the entire southern coast of the island and the town of Chalki. It was this location that gave the castle its excellent defensive function.

Stony Beach, Pebble beach

The small beach of Kania is located in a narrow bay with beautifully clear water about 2.5 km north of the port of Emporio (Chalki).

Stony Beach

The small beach of Ftenagia lies less than 1 km south of the centre of Chalki, near the windmills.
