Kastelorizo is the Aegean's
easternmost island. It is a tiny but very beautiful island consisting of a
circular port of about 50 inhabited houses. Even though the island has very
few inhabitants, they are all very hospitable and wait on the port to
welcome the tourists.
The island's only settlement is Megisti, otherwise known as Kastelorizo, on
the northeast coast. The gracious two-storey neo-classical houses with their
brightly painted doors and windows, wooden balconies and tile roofs on the
waterfront as well as the majestic domes of the churches testify to the
island's former prosperity.
