Villas in Nimborio
The villa stock on Chalki is the restored houses of Nimborio. Venetian and neoclassical mansions curve around the harbour, and owners have renovated more of them in recent years. Many of these restored houses now serve as holiday villas, several of them owned by British settlers who have made a home on the island. Only about one third of the houses in Nimborio are lived in year-round by islanders. The village and its harbour are described in the Chalki island guide.
Booking a house
Self-catering houses on Chalki sit close to the harbour, the tavernas and Pontamos beach, so a car is not needed. Choice is limited across the whole island, so book ahead outside the quietest weeks. The bookable studios, apartments and houses in Nimborio are listed above.
