The island of Halki (or Chalki)
Halki is situated 35 nautical miles west of the city of Rhodes and just 5 miles from the promontory of Monolithos, Rhodes. Halki is a mountainous island. With an area of 37.0 square kms and 34 kms of coastline, it is one of the smallest islands of the Dodecanese group.
The village of “Chorio”, west of Halki, once the only settlement on the island, is built around the hill upon which the fort is built and has olden style stone houses. The village of “Chorio” was abandoned gradually and today is deserted. The town of Halki, is architecturally aristocratic,Â
with traditional two and three story houses positioned amphitheatrically around the harbour. Of special interest are the neoclassical Council building, the stone clock tower and the church of St. Nicholas (built in 1861) with its characteristic bell tower and finely worked wooden iconostasis.
