Viagem de um dia para a Ilha Chalki

This trip should not be considered if staying in the pefkos area. 2 hour coach travel, 1 hour ferry which had no refreshments meant that arriving from a 7am pick up is not suitable. Than once on the island apart from 2 beaches which had to be paid for and why go all that way to go to a beach that's ready on our doorstep (Lee Beach). Than once a 1hour if slow walking around, the only respite from the sun was to spend time in a bar/ cafe for nearly 3 hours. Than it was the 3 hour return trip.

Chalki is an amazing island to visit, relatively quiet and very peaceful. Locals are so friendly, great cafes and excellent beaches. The time on the island (about 6 hours) is perfect to do a bit of exploring some swimming and have some food. The only thing I would highlight is that the ferry to Chalki (which is 1 hour each way) departs Kamiros port, which is in the south of the island, so can make a long day (1h ferry + 1.15 coach (we was in Rhodes Town, so that’s probably the longest journey))

Bus on time at pickup. Taken to the harbour and escorted on the ferry and time given to return to ferry. Crossing was amazing passing uninhabited small islands. Chalki is a beautiful place. A smaller version of symi and less crowded. Beaches are beautiful. Albeit bit of a climb. Plenty of restaurants on the harbour. I loved it. Boat left on time and was greeted by TUI rep on arrival. A must see place whist on rhodes taken back to my drop off place.

Pickup time changed at 24hrs notice and too late to cancel. Very early start and a long time on the bus. Guide only joined at nearly the last pickup and gave very little information other than where to get a discount on lunch.

The pick up from hotel was easy and smooth; the calm services of the ferry staff, the guide and nominated restaurants.
