Kastelorizo, officially known as Megisti, is the smallest of the 12 Dodecanese islands. The port of the island is easily located in the main town, the 'hora'. The size of the island means that there are no street names but on this island you have very little chance of getting lost.

The island is famous for its narrow beach front houses set over the calm glistening sea. The name Kastellorizo cames from the Italian 'Kastello Rosso' or red castle. The red castle is one of the island's most famous sights. The name was given to it by the Knights of Saint John due the red stone used in the castle's construction.
There are no beaches on Kastelorizo Island as such, only rocky inlets perfect for diving and snorkeling. There are however, plenty of wonderful beaches on some of the small islets nearby. You can go on excursions by hiring boats available from the harbour.
Some of the impressive sites in and around the island are the stunning Blue Caves, well preserved stone-hewed Lycean tomb and various small but interesting archaeological museums depicting local culture.
Kastelorizo on the whole offers an unforgettable Greek Island holiday experience with some good places to stay and eat along with the splendid views.
