Chalki to Kamiros Skala is the island's everyday link with Rhodes, taking around 40 to 50 minutes on the Aegean Gem, operated on the Nissos Halki and Star Gem Maritime services. The boat crosses the short channel between Emborio and the west coast of Rhodes, and it is the shortest and most-used way on and off Chalki. It is a small vessel, so the trip is more like a local ferry run than a long-distance sailing.
Kamiros Skala is a small working harbour on the west coast of Rhodes near the ancient site of Kamiros, rural and quiet rather than a resort. There is no town to speak of, just the quay, a few tavernas and the road, so most arrivals move straight on by bus, taxi or hire car towards Rhodes Town or the west-coast villages. The ancient Kamiros archaeological site is a short drive up the coast and is an easy stop if you have a car.
This is by far the most frequent route serving Chalki, running several times a day in season, which makes day trips in either direction practical. Exact departures and fares as currently published are in the timetable below. From Kamiros Skala the road into Rhodes Town takes roughly an hour, connecting to the airport and the larger Dodecanese ferry services.
