Information about Kastelorizo
Castelrosso, also called Megisti (in Greek «the biggest»), is an island and municipality of Greece, at the eastern end of its territory. Located in the eastern Mediterranean, it is located less than 3 km from the Anatolian coasts of Turkey in front of Kastellorizo, while 72 nautical miles separate it from Rhodes, on which it depends administratively.
From the administrative point of view it is a municipality of Greece belonging to the periphery of the Southern Aegean (peripheral unit of Rhodes). It has 430 inhabitants.
Although not located in the Aegean Sea but in the Eastern Sea, historically it is part of the Dodecanese archipelago, but in turn is a small grouping together with the islands of Strongili and Ro, the islets (Agios Georgios, Psomi and Psoradia), all Greek territory and with others (Bayrak, Besmi, Catal, Gurmenli, Guvercinli, Heybeli, Kovan, Kovanli, Okzuz, Sariada, Saribelen and Sican), almost all little more than rocks, belonging to Turkey.
It has an almost triangular shape, an area of ??9.2 km² and an NE-SO orientation. The extreme points are represented by Cape St. Stephen to the north (nearest point to Turkey), Nifti to the east and Pounenti to the southwest. Among the first two locations there is a large bay that represents the island's natural harbor and the seat of the only town. The island is almost all mountainous with high and steep coasts. The area of ??the municipality is a total of about 12 km².
Castelrosso has a natural harbor, and an airport served by domestic scheduled flights.
Castelrosso is the setting place for the Italian film Mediterraneo, which received the Oscar for best foreign film in 1992.

Chora, the capital of the island, is completed perfectly with Skala, the port below, from where the few tourists come who decide to enjoy a holiday here.
