Chalki
One of the smallest and most characteristic of the Dodecanese, Chalki resembles a painting with its pastel-colored houses lined around the harbor. For yacht charter guests, the main port of Nimporio is a haven of peace with its crystal-clear waters and almost total absence of motor vehicles. On blue cruise itineraries, the deserted bays on the west of the island and the nearby Alimnia Island are popular stops. Offering a nostalgic atmosphere with its historic castle and the abandoned village of "Chorio," you can crown your day with fresh seafood and the famous "Chalki Pasta" at the local seaside tavernas.

Captain's Note
“A masterclass in Dodecanese austerity where the profound water clarity and neoclassical silhouette demand precise anchoring and a deep respect for silence.
