Santorini to Halki Ferry

This Greek island crossing is a lovely choice for travellers who want to move beyond the better-known islands and arrive somewhere with a small harbour, neoclassical waterfront houses and a distinctly peaceful rhythm. Halki lies close to Rhodes, yet feels beautifully removed from the bustle, with clear water, rocky coves and the compact village of Emporio at its heart. The Santorini – Halki ferry route turns the sea journey into part of the escape, with the open Aegean stretching between two memorable island landscapes.
