Kastelorizo
Kastelorizo, fairy-tale island in the Mediterranean, fought over since ancient times, still inspires today: David Gilmour dedicated an entire album to it, the film "Mediterraneo" is a tribute to the island and its hospitable inhabitants. The empire of Alexander the Great, Rome and Byzantium have left their mark. Impressive is the ancient fortress of the Knights of St. John, the Kastello Rosso. The reddish stone of the hill is said to have given the name to the island and the fort. From up there, the view opens to the sea, the harbor, the church of St. Constantine and Helena. Many wonders await you on the island. The Blue Grotto is one of them ...
The ferry port on the island of Kastelorizo offers connections to the other Greek islands of Rhodes, Tilos, Fournoi, Symi, Ikaria, Lipsi, Nisyros, Patmos, Kalymnos, Kos and Astypalea, as well as to the ferry port of Piraeus on the Greek mainland.

Nisyros
The almost 50 km² large island of Nisyros is located south of Kos, not far from the Turkish mainland. Typical for Greek villages are also here the whitewashed houses with their colorful shutters. The narrow streets and alleys invite you to stroll and linger. An eye-catcher are the numerous floor mosaics, also called Hohlakia or Chochlakia. The no longer active volcano of Nisyros is worth a trip, as is the idyllic mountain village of Nikia, like Emporios as a village in proverbial slumber or like Pachia Ammos, the most beautiful beach of Nisyros.
