Latest reviews on Chalki island's beaches

Paralia Ftenagia
10 Elias Steinberg

This beach is truly authentic, with a more untouched and natural feel. It's not crowded with tourists, so you can enjoy peace and tranquility. You can observe the fish and unwind. The water is crystal clear, offering a stunning view of the sea. There aren't many people around, just a handful of anglers, swimmers, and boats.

Kania Beach
10 Benjamin Mitchell

This beach on Chalki is my absolute favorite. It's a small and charming beach with warm, pristine water. The hosts here are incredibly friendly (which is quite uncommon in Greece, I must say). And let me tell you, the seafood here is simply divine.

Ftenagia Beach
10 Jolene

This beach is absolutely fantastic, only a 10-minute walk away (just make sure to follow the signs instead of relying on Google Maps). There's a lovely restaurant nearby that serves delicious local cuisine, and overall it's a very laid-back and enjoyable spot to spend some time. 😎

10 Vera Tamsin

This beach is amazing and peaceful, and it's only a 10-minute walk from the port. You can rent two sunbeds for 10 €, but you can also comfortably sit on your own towel under the shade of the trees. The water is crystal clear, the beach is sandy and shallow, and it's not crowded at all. Additionally, there's a cozy little tavern where you can grab a drink or a bite to eat. I highly recommend it!
