Anteli Villa, Chalki @anteli_luxury_villa

A restored heritage home on a small Greek island in the Dodecanese — where shutters are blue, stone walls stay cool, and life moves slowly.

All rooms open to views of the sea and the island — from the kitchen, the bedroom, and even the shower.

You’ll be rinsing off with the Aegean Sea and the harbour — a view you’ll never forget.

There’s a private balcony where sunsets fall behind the island of Rhodes.

And in the courtyard, a sunlit terrace invites slow breakfasts, dinners under the sky, or simply quiet time on a lounger.

This is Chalki — one of the smallest inhabited islands in Greece, home to just 300 people.

There are no cars. No noise. Just turquoise bays, whitewashed houses, and family-run tavernas where time stretches long.

👇 Save this villa for your slow island escape.

Some hotels host you. Others stay with you.
