Best Beaches in Chalki — Real-Time Wind Conditions

Swimming in Chalki

Chalki is a miniature island west of Rhodes, with a single village, a handful of beaches, and an atmosphere of unhurried tranquillity. Despite its small size, the coastline offers varied swimming conditions, from organised town beaches to remote coves.

Sheltered by the larger mass of Rhodes to the east, Chalki enjoys relatively calm conditions for much of the summer. The island's beaches face different directions, providing options regardless of wind conditions.

Swimming season runs from May to October. Chalki is car-free and blissfully quiet — the kind of island where your biggest decision is which beach to walk to after breakfast.

Swimming season: May to October
