Capo Coni Info, Rhodes

Halki is a small and quiet and unspoiled island with an attractive village port and very few people. As there is no bus, it is a place for those who love walks - which in fact are rewarding. Halki, once sponge-fishing centre with a rich fleet and thousands of people living there, took its name from the copper (Halkos in Greek), that mined in antiquity.

Symi is a small but historic Greek island and municipality. The island, along with the rest of the Dodecanese, changed hands several times in the 20th century: in 1912 the Dodecanese declared independence from the Ottomans as the Federation of the Dodecanese Islands though this was almost immediately occupied by Italy.
