8Emporio, Halki

Halki is one of the smallest islands in the Dodecanese, and its main village, Emporio, is pure charm. Pastel-colored houses line the harbor, reflecting softly in the calm water. 

There are no big crowds, no large resorts — just a peaceful village where you can walk along the waterfront, enjoy fresh seafood, and watch fishing boats come and go. The quiet elegance of Emporio makes it feel like a hidden treasure.
