No crowds. No fixed schedule. Just the sea, the boat, and your own pace.
This route follows the southern edge of Rhodes, ending at Prasonisi, where two seas meet and the landscape constantly changes with the wind.
Destination: Chalki island
The route takes you along one of the least visited coastlines of Rhodes, past snorkelling spots that most tourists never find, before crossing to the island of Chalki.
From here, the experience continues on the water with swimming stops and open sea exploration.
Boat Cruise from Plimmiri to Chalki
Reaching Chalki by boat from Plimmiri is a proper sea adventure. You leave the quiet marina, pass the wild tip of Prasonisi where the Aegean and Mediterranean meet, then follow the western coastline of Rhodes past remote beaches and clear rocky coves.
Along the way there are stops for snorkelling in the waters off Fournoi Apolakkias and the Monolithos coastline, two of the best snorkelling spots on the island, with rocky seabeds, good visibility and very few people around.
After the coastal stretch, you cross the open water to Chalki. The island is small, unhurried and largely undiscovered by mass tourism. Its harbour is one of the most picturesque in the Dodecanese, lined with colourful neoclassical houses and traditional fishing boats.
Once at Chalki, time is yours. Swim off the boat, walk into the village, or simply sit and take in the stillness. Everything is flexible and arranged with the captain based on what you want from the day.
This is a full day on the sea, done at your own pace, with no fixed itinerary and no rush.
