Ferries from Kastelorizo

Kastelorizo is the easternmost point of Greece, a small island two kilometres off the Turkish coast and more than a hundred from Rhodes, which its single daily sailing reaches in 195 minutes. Blue Star Ferries and Dodekanisos Seaways both appear on the route. Fewer than five hundred people live here, in one harbour village of ochre houses around a deep natural port that was once busy enough to support a population twenty times larger. The long crossing and single departure make this one of the harder Greek islands to fit into a schedule. Flights from Rhodes take under an hour and run more often than the ferry, which is why most visitors arrive by air and use the boat only one way.
