This small (9.000m2, population: 250) but heroic island, to the east end of the Aegean, is the outer link of the Dodecanese chain.

It is situated at the extreme south-estern corner of Greece, at a distance of 72 miles from Rhodes and 1 mile from the Turkish coast.

Kastellorizo island is the largest island in an archipelago of 24 islets and for this reason since Antiquity it was known as Megisti (= maxima).
