点评:Early evening Thursday 13th June and we sailed into the Port of Nimporio, Halki, from Skala Kamiros on Rhodes.
It is such a welcoming sight to see familiar landmarks, including this iconic Clock Tower as we approached the Port.
The Clock Tower was gift to the Islanders from Halkians who had emigrated and live abroad.
Over many years the clocks and their tower had fallen into disrepair. When we were last in Halki, July 2023, it had all been restored, refurbished and looking good.
A few days into our holiday we did walk around the base of the tower. It was so good to see that the four clocks were still in working order and all showing the correct time. There were a few visible weeds growing out of the masonry, nothing major and easily sorted.
It was also good to see that the small stone house with it's domed roof, at the base of the Tower, was still being maintained and being used as a gallery.
From the balcony of our villa we were able to see the Tower a welcome sight on every occasion.

当我们靠近港口时,看到熟悉的地标,包括这座标志性的钟楼,真是令人欣喜。
钟楼是移民并居住在国外的哈尔基人送给岛民的礼物。
多年来,时钟和塔楼年久失修。当我们最后一次来到哈尔基时,也就是 2023 年 7 月,它已经全部修复、翻新,看起来很不错。
假期开始几天后,我们确实在塔楼底部走了一圈。很高兴看到这四个时钟仍然运转正常,并且都显示正确的时间。砖石中长出了一些可见的杂草,但没有什么大问题,很容易解决。
还很高兴看到塔楼底部的圆顶小石屋仍在维护中,并被用作画廊。
每次从我们别墅的阳台上,我们都能看到塔,这真是一道美丽的风景。
