great island, Emporio is the main town and where most people stay. Beaches are easily accessed on foot or by boat taxi. All the tavernas are on the waterfront, We ate twice at Marias, once at Kifi Grill and twice at Magefseis, all served great food served by friendly people. The bakery was great for breakfast. Pondamos beach is about a 15 minute walk, just over the hill. Lovely beach, well managed with Nick`s Taverna, also great food.

Have been waiting a long time to get to Halki based on a friend's recommendation. She is a long time visitor as are a lot of others that we met. Must say at times it felt like an old boys club! There isn't very much to do and if you enjoy walking you need to go in May/early June or late September. We had a slight breeze whilst we were there but it was close to 30 degrees and there is very little shade. Halki is hilly so you are constantly going uphill! The back lanes can be difficult to navigate if you have mobility issues, steps are uneven in places and only some areas have tarmac. We didn't think the food was anything to write home about. It wasn't bad, just not the best we have had in the Greek islands. We loved how quiet the place is and the people are lovely and welcoming. We will definitely return.

the peace and relaxation of the harbour front without the noise of cars was wondeful! everyone was in the 'go slow mode' meaning nothing was rushed or hectic. there were so many differeant tavernas to choose from to eat in and plenty of seating in cafes and pattiseries to spend the time of day in.. Halki is a very clean and rubbish free island. people are very friendly and willing to help whatever your needs. Beautiful walks and cute little beaches to visit. Take the water Taxi to Kania beach and spend a lazy day being waited on the tiny beach

Halki has changed over the last 30 years. There are more bars, tavernas and shops but, because of its unique layout and architecture it remains fundamentally unchanged. It's colourful, quirky, peaceful and beautiful. The ideal place to completely unwind. Not for you if you're into discos and casinos. Not for you if you're frail and can't cope with uneven paths and steps... a delight for the rest of us.

Beautiful harbour with restaurants all around.Small,can walk end to end in 10 minutes.Very quiet.Picturesque cobblestone alleys and steep steps behind.Nice beach 500metres walk away. Can walk 3k to a knights castle along a crazy paved road,then up a steep stepped path.

Halki is the queen of all islands for me, I love it for the peace and tranquillity. No cars, no crowds, no rush to do or see anything. I am happy to spend the day relaxing in the sun ( the weather never disappoints, 28 degrees mid Sept) on one for Halki’s beautiful beaches, Ftenagia is my fave. It’s great for snorkelling as the sea is crystal clear. You can walk or get a boat taxi to the other beaches too. The islands only inhabited village is the port of Nimborio which is very pretty with pastel painted houses and icing sugar towers. The restaurants at the port are wonderful and reasonably priced. I enjoyed Appagio and Remezzo the most. The only hotel on the island, The Aretanassa was great for early evening drinks and the owner was really friendly. I may book a few nights there next year. The main thing I love about Halki is the people of the island, they are so welcoming and friendly. Every villa I have stayed at has been excellent. I really can’t recommend Halki enough. Next time I think I’ll hire a boat and go and check out some more of the island.
