These are the sailings we recorded on this route from November 2025 to October 2026. They show what ran then, not a forecast: timetables change from year to year.

Kamiros Skala, on the west coast of Rhodes, is the closest departure point for Chalki, and the crossing takes around forty to fifty minutes. Star Gem Maritime and the local Nissos Halki service run it, with the Aegean Gem among the vessels used. It is a short, straightforward hop across to the island you can already see from the Rhodes shore.

Chalki is a tiny Dodecanese island, tranquil and largely undeveloped compared with Rhodes. Boats dock at Emborio, effectively the island's only town, where pastel neoclassical houses line the small harbour. Quiet beaches and a slow pace are the point of the place, and the population is very small, so expect a handful of tavernas and rooms rather than resort infrastructure.

Sailings run daily and often more than once a day in season, which makes the island workable as a day trip from Rhodes as well as a stay. The timetable is shown below, but no fares are published yet. Kamiros Skala is reached by road from Rhodes Town in around an hour, and the bus service is limited, so most people drive or take a taxi.

Tips for the Kamiros Skala to Chalki ferry

  • Most ferries have a small play area or supervised children's zone on larger vessels; ask crew on boarding if you are travelling with very young children.
  • Short crossings in summer are often operated by smaller local ferries or water taxis in addition to the main line vessels; ask at the port for all options.
  • Third-party booking agents are useful for comparing multiple operators on the same route, but check their cancellation and change policies before paying.
  • The meltemi is a reliable, predictable wind – sailors and ferry operators know its pattern well. It blows hard in the afternoon but often eases overnight.
  • The ferry approach into a Greek island harbour is often the most beautiful part of the journey – get onto the bow deck 15–20 minutes before arrival.

Plan a journey

Search for a connection between any two Greek ports, including journeys that need a change.
