Kassos to Chalki Route Map
Kassos to Chalki takes around four and a quarter hours with Blue Star Ferries aboard the Blue Star Chios, running northeast with a call at Karpathos on the way. It is a conventional ferry with a restaurant, indoor lounges and open deck. Chalki is a brief stop on a longer route to Rhodes, so be ready to disembark when the ship comes alongside.
Chalki is a tiny island just off the west coast of Rhodes, quiet and undeveloped next to its large neighbour. Ferries berth at Emborio, effectively the island's only town, where pastel and neoclassical houses ring the small harbour. There is little to do beyond swimming, walking and eating well, which is the appeal.
Sailings run around twice a week in season and stop outside it. The current timetable and fares are shown in the table below. Chalki's regular connection is the short boat across to Kamiros Skala on Rhodes, which runs far more often and is the usual way off the island.
