Knights of St. John

The gold-star adorned ceiling, white Byzantine architecture and pebbled courtyard mark this tiny, deserted monastery as something special. Located just above the abandoned village of Horio, this is the spot for the best sunset in town.

where to next?

Trachia Beach

Trachia Beach

Horio
activity

Just over the brow of the hill from Horio is a peninsula that gives way to surrounding Trachia Beach. Though the adventurous may want to hike here, hop on one the island's boats for a more relaxing experience. Stop by 'The Cave of Seals' or go snorkelling in the underwater reef.

If the location is anything to go by, then a visit to Valantis won't disappoint. With views across the harbour, watch the comings and goings whilst tucking in to some wondrously-delicious moussaka. 

Dimitri’s Bakery

Dimitri’s Bakery

Emborio
shop

A spinach pie a day keeps the doctor away or, in this case, the taste buds duly satisfied. Pop by Dimitri's for your breakfast fill, a loaf of freshly baked bread and your daily catch-up with fellow islanders. 

Taverna Babis

Emboriolunch
dinner

Whilst no trip to Halki is complete without some of the freshest fish, what Babis does best is its assortment of mezze. It's the busiest spot for a reason!
