Kastellorizo is the holy grail of island hopping. Isolated from the rest of Greece with more than 120 km to its nearest neighbour Rhodos, Kastellorians go shopping 3 km away in...Turkey!  Kastellorizo is a small, yet beautiful island. It's only 9 km2 and has aprox. 200 inhabitants. Come Summer, no doubt the most common greetings here are: "G'day mate" and "Buon Giorno". The second, third and forth generations of Greek-Aussies are returning from Melbourne, Sydney and Perth. Italians and many others return to scout locations from the Italian Oscar-winning movie "Mediterraneo" filmed on location on Kastellorizo back in 1991. A GREAT movie, by the way. This tiny island truely is GOOD ON YA MATE! Once you have spent a few peaceful days here, you will only have one thing on your mind: To come back! ........

.............And when you do so: bRaNdSboRg.CoM warmly recommends Hotel Kastellorizo which is situated right on the harbour on the peaceful west side of the village. Stunning views directly from your balcony,  beautiful traditional buildings and rooms, tranquil surroundings, and a very friendly and welcoming service.

The Olive Garden and Alexandra are both highly recommended restaurants - and for coffee and great sandwiches and breakfasts - do as the locals: Radio Cafe on the sunny east side, where Elma and Vangelis are ready to serve you their exellent coffee and great know-how of anything worth to know about Kastellorizo. For delicious fresh fish just landed by Kostas himself in the early morning hours - try his own restaurant To Paragadi just next to Radio Cafe.
