It is such a pleasure to sit at one of the harbourside cafes and watch the giant Turtles swim by.
They have been back in the area for several years now and it still amazing to see them swim by right in the harbour.
How many there are is unsure but numbers are growing.
A small pretty island with the Church of Agios Georgos close to Mandraki Bay.
This is a favorite swimming and sunbathing spot-there is even a little bit of sand amongst the rocks.
The water taxis will take you there and back if the swim is too far.
Kastellorizo does not have a beach, even though it is a little bit sandy in the Mandraki!
But who needs beaches when you can swim from the rocks into the clearest water imaginable.
There are several bathing ladders around the harbour for anyone to use. A few in front of the harbourside Hotels are generally off limits but the Hotel Megisti has a small charge for sunbeds and access to the water, as do Faros Bar {the Lighthouse} and The Aussie Bar.
The Island has several good walks, mainly up into the mountains, which is well worth the trek.
From the top of the whitewashed steps it is possible to walk towards the radio towers and then over to the Acropolis and back down the airport road into the village.
Alternatively head in the opposite direction towards the Mandraki and cross the high plateau known as Avlonia then back down the secret steps {difficult to find} or convenient goat track down to the Mandraki.
