Greece's easternmost island with a tiny airport
A small Dodecanese island close to the Turkish coast, its single harbor village lined with restored neoclassical houses. Kastellorizo has a small airport and ferry links to Rhodes.
Once a prosperous maritime island of thousands, its population collapsed after wartime evacuation and emigration in the 20th century. Only a few hundred residents remain today.
