    A Lazy Last Day on Chalki – Kania Beach

    ByStephanie Banks 2 October 201813 September 2022

    My time here has gone so quickly.  I have a ticket for the Prevelis leaving at 18.20 this evening.  During my stay I haven’t seen my host but I make a point of trying to find her this morning.  She doesn’t speak English but I manage to communicate a question about checking out later in…

    Ftenagia Beach and a Sunset Trip to the Castle and Monastery

    ByStephanie Banks 1 October 201817 February 2022

    I was so taken by the magnificent sunrise when I first arrived on Chalki that I set my alarm at 5.00am to make sure I catch it again today.  There isn’t as much definition in the sky as the storms over Rhodes have moved on. Nonetheless – it is still stunningly beautiful. I set up…

    A trip to Alimnia (or Alimia) Island

    ByStephanie Banks 1 October 201819 March 2019

    When I arrived on Chalki one of the first things I did was to join the Chalki Visitors Facebook group. I had hoped to find out what I can see and do in my short 3 nights here. I’m so glad I did because one of the first posts I saw was promoting the day…

    Arrival on Chalki – the Island Reveals Itself

    ByStephanie Banks 30 September 201817 February 2022

    It is still pitch black when I disembark.  Just a handful of us departed from the ferry and about a dozen boarded.  It feels like the season will soon be drawing to an end. I thumbed the Atlantis apartments into Google maps and it was like Pigadia all over again!  Up what felt like hundreds…

    Back to Rhodes Town, Farewell to my Compadres and off to Chalki!

    ByStephanie Banks 29 September 201818 March 2019

    We arrive in Rhodes Old Town mid morning.  I am still in a bit of a dilemma regarding my next steps.  My compadres have flights to Manchester and London this evening and I have a ferry that leaves at 3.00am in the morning.  As much as I like to think I still have the staying…
