Ismini, one of six sisters. Grew up on Rhodes and visited Halki with her family, as a small girl. After many years, enjoying the Island with her own family. She bought the original property with her husband in 1995. I was luckily enough to meet Ismini, whilst visiting Halki and bought the (now restored) Villa in October 2019. Thus fulfilling, a life-long dream, which I’d like to share the opportunity of experiencing with others

Halki Castle The Medieval Castle of Halki Dodecanese. Is situated on top of an abrupt and rocky hill above Chorio village, the old capital of Halki. The 14th-century castle was built on the site of an ancient acropolis, by the Knights of Saint John, who had conquered all the Dodecanese islands at the time. The castle protected the island and it’s inhabitants from pirates and enemies, and it was incredibly hard to access. Today, the castle is accessed via a paved path from where the views are simply amazing. The back side of the hill is rough and its slopes lead to the sea. At the foot of the Castle, there are three small chapels dedicated to Virgin Mary, Saint Nicolas, and to the Holy Trinity. Monastery of Agios Ioannis Alargas Located on the western side of the island of Halki, the Monastery of Agios Ioannia Alargas can be found in a remote area. The monastery is located just 7.5 km from Nimborio, the main settlement of the island’s residents. The Monastery of Agios Ioannis is dedicated to the beheading of John the Baptist. Tradition says that sponge fishermen of Halki island considered John the Baptist their saviour. The monastery was built during the 19th century. If you’re interested in staying overnight at the Monastery of Agios Ioannis, you can make arrangements to do so. The monastery’s location offers a wonderful panoramic view of the surrounding areas. Halki Windmills These iconic Windmills stand like three brothers looking down on the harbour. Sometimes, they appear to be as old as the island itself. As the Castle, they are the landmarks on Halki, which you will never forget once you’ve visited the island. In the old days, the windmills operated by wind, as the islands of Greece and Halki are renowned for their gusty winds. However, they now represent a ‘bygone age’ of the rich tapestry of the island’s history, which you’ll experience during your stay on the island.
