Photographer's Note

The beautiful little island of Chalki (Halki) lies just a few miles off the coast of Rhodes. There is no mass tourism and much of the traditional way of life of an island fishing village continues. There is no hurry - no taxis, no disco, no watersports and very little traffic. The setting is delightful; pretty houses
scattered around a picturesque harbourside, fishing boats at anchor, and a backrdrop of rugged mountains. There are almost no cars or motorbikes on Halki - just one taxi but certainly no hire cars. This makes it the perfect place for anyone who loves peace and quiet and total rest and just wants to escape from a busy life.
