Description

The wealth once brought to the tiny island of Chálki by the sponge trade in the 19th century is immediately evident in the gracious sweep of stone houses of Neoclassical inspiration which encircle the harbour. The underwater sponge-beds were the island’s principal ‘garden’, since the harsh and waterless mountains of its interior afford only a few oases for cultivation. 

Chálki today is a peaceful retreat, offering uncrowded beaches, scenic walks, and both a dramatic landscape inland and an attractive seascape all around, formed by its outlying islands.


This is a chapter from Blue Guide Greece the Aegean Islands: what to see, where to stay and eat, history, archaeology, art, culture, leisure. With superb, award-winning maps. Written and edited by a team of three experts: historian, art historian and archaeologist, two of whom lead cultural tours in Greece. "Blue Guides still hold the cultural high ground" Sunday Times.
