Halki holidays
Halki is the closest island to Rhodes and one of the smallest in the group. There is not much to do here except eat, swim, read, sleep and generally forget the world! The population numbers just a few hundred and live in Emborio. This is a handsome natural harbour, lined by elegant stone mansions. Nightlife revolves around the fine half-dozen waterfront tavernas which specialise in fish caught that morning.
The sandy beach of Pondamos is a 10 minute walk. Further coves and bays, mostly pebble, can be reached on foot; others are best reached by boat. The swimming in crystal-clear water is excellent. Deserted Chora, 3 kms to the west and topped by a crumbling Crusader castle, rewards the stiff walk up with panoramic vistas over Emborio to Rhodes and towards distant Karpathos.
Arrivals are on Wednesdays from Gatwick, Manchester and a range of regional airports via Rhodes or Kos. Taxi transfer to port (40 mins). Ferry or Flying Cat to the island (1-2 hours, tickets included – there may be some waiting time at the port). Local transfer or short walk to your accommodation.
It may be necessary to overnight in Rhodes or Kos town if flight times do not connect with ferries.
On your return the reverse applies.
We do not employ a resident representative on Halki but have a local agent based in Rhodes Town who can assist with information, excursions and queries.
