Entries ancient settlement (Village) - Ancient parts were built on the wall of the cemetery, where large crafted stones, walls and ceramics, show us the existence of an ancient settlement.

Altar (Finiki) - The temple of Ai Zacharias.

Kammenos Spilios (8 km from NIMPORIO) - In 1658, the Venetian Morozini, in an act of revenge against the Chalkites because they warned Rodious about his plans for a surprise attack and conquest, killed the hidden inhabitants by burning the entire place.

Abandonned Village (1 hour from the port) - The old capital of Halki, built in a specially-chosen location to avoid pirate raids. The area is the Venetian castle (14th - 15th century.) There are many stone-built homes, and cemetery ruins with re-used sarcophagus and graves.
