Booking option: Halki Island Day Trip from Rhodes

Halki Island is an excellent way to spend a day on one of the most authentic Greek islands! From the moment you arrive Halki will impress you with how traditional and authentic the island is. You should also know that Halki is designated by UNESCO as the "Island of Peace and Friendship". You can walk through the traditional stone-paved alleys of Halki with its aristocratic villas, swim in the crystal clear turquoise waters or taste the local seafood specialties. Our day tour starts from the Mandraki port of Rhodes Town. From there we will take you to the port of Kamiros Skala (about 1 hour drive), where the ferries to Halki depart. The crossing itself takes about 45 minutes.

Once on Halki, you will have 6 hours of free time to explore this little paradise on your own. Nimborio, the island's capital and port, is one of the most beautiful neoclassical settlements in Greece and an ideal place to walk around, as the absence of vehicles makes Halki a peaceful place! Walk around the small harbor where fishermen launch their boats and spread out their catch! Don't miss to visit St. Nicholas Church with its impressive black and white cobblestones and bell tower, the imposing town hall with its clock tower and spectacular double staircase and of course the traditional house museum if you want to learn more about the life of the people on this island.

In the evening we take the ferry back to Kamiros Skala and continue by bus to Rhodes Town.

Detailed description

Halki Day Tour from Rhodes

Halki will seem more calm and serene when you come from Rhodes and enter the small island. Although just the port in Nimporio, the only settlement on the island, always seems busy and lively. Halki is an island dream in the Mediterranean, a place where time seems to stand still. Halki is often called the little sister of Symi and this is also because of the colorful, stylish architecture around the port. A very authentic and very popular setting for a walk, a stroll through the ages. If you want to leave some of the hustle and bustle of Rhodes behind, the Halki day trip is highly recommended.

The Halki tour starts from the Mandraki port of Rhodes town. We meet in front of the big church in the harbor and take the bus to Kameiros Skala. There the ferries to Halki depart. During the short 45-minute ride on a small ferry, you will have the opportunity to admire the panorama of the rocky coast of Western Rhodes, the castle of Kritinia and the mountains, so the trip to Halki will seem like a piece of cake. As you approach, a colorful settlement appears at the foot of the surrounding hills. The colorful neoclassical villas from the 19th century, the three windmills on the far left and the ruins of a Venetian fortress on the top of one of the hills will take your breath away!
