1 ~~~ Where to Eat, Stay, and Play on Kastellorizo, Greece's Perfect Tiny Island
An insider’s guide to Kastellorizo, Greece’s artsy, most underrated island.
Greece has hundreds of islands, but few are as small or as perfectly formed as Kastellorizo.
Ironically, the island was known in antiquity as Megisti (“The Greatest”), because it is the largest in an archipelago of tiny isles that lie where Europe ends and Asia begins.
Just over a mile from the Lycian coast of Turkey—30 minutes by ferry or a 10-minute speedboat ride—this dinky Dodecanese isle packs in a heady cocktail of cultures.
Ancient fortresses, wine presses, windmills, castles, mosques and marketplaces offer traces of the marauding powers who have been drawn to this desirable trading post through the ages.
