Places to See in Kastelorizo

1. Meis Island is a small island with hundreds of years of history. St. John's Castle (Castello Rosso) was built in the 14th century and is the symbol of the island.
2. The red rocky hill of the castle has a wonderful panoramic view overlooking the harbor. The Ottoman Mosque, built in 1753-1755, is located in the center of the island and was restored in 2007 and turned into a museum.
3. The Lycian Tomb at the entrance of the harbor is an impressive monumental tomb dating back to the 4th century BC. It draws attention with its Doric temple style façade
4. The Blue Cave is the most famous natural wonder of Meis. The cave, which is about 25 meters high, fascinates its visitors with the fascinating phosphorescent blue color formed by the sun's rays hitting the water. Since the entrance opening of the cave is only around 1 meter, you can enter the cave by boat and pass through with a descending boat. Since the most beautiful reflection of light occurs in the morning, you should visit the Blue Cave before noon. Visitors can have a unique experience by swimming in the clear water. The area around the cave is usually calm and untouched, you can take a boat trip and enjoy the beauty of the sea.
5. Aya Yorgi Island is a small local island close to Mandraki Harbor, with a small chapel of St. George. With its turquoise bay and shallow shore, it is ideal for swimming or snorkeling.
6. The island's harbor area and narrow stone streets are among the most attractive parts of Meis. Meis is famous for its “colorful and Italian-inspired” plastered houses, with a different pastel shade catching your eye at every step. Mandraki Harbor is where the heart of island life beats. It has a fairytale atmosphere with colorful boats lining the shore, calm Aegean waters and cafes along the coast.
