2025 Kastellorizo Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#summervacay Kastellorizo is Greece in its purest, most peaceful form. Just a stone’s throw from the Turkish coast, it has a colorful harbor, neoclassical homes, and barely any cars. I felt like I’d stepped into a watercolor painting. At sunset, the pastel reflections on the water are breathtaking. It’s quiet—perfect for reading, wandering, and connecting with locals. The food was unreal too, especially fresh lobster pasta at a family-run taverna. Pure soul food for travelers.

#mediterraneanvibes Kastelorizo, Greece’s easternmost island, enchants with its colorful neoclassical houses, serene harbor, and unspoiled beauty.

#Watersports2024 30 minutes by ferry from Kas🇹🇷 in Turkey to Kastellorizo ​​(Mais Island)🇬🇷 in Greece! I went to the Blue Grotto for the first time since I went to Capri when I was 16 years old✨️ You can actually swim in the Blue Grotto here😳 The waves are so high that it's a close call, so everyone has to bend down when they go in, but the inside is so spacious! I think the inside of the cave is bigger than the one in Capri! Since I had the chance, I was able to swim properly☺️❤️It was quite deep, but perhaps because the salt concentration was high, it was easy to float and I managed to do it🫶The second photo is unedited📸It wasn't that crowded, so I could enjoy it at a leisurely pace and it was great💓🏷️Tips ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━🌟How to get to the Blue CaveWhen we arrived at Kastellorizo ​​Island, we took a shared boat to the boat dock and headed to the Blue Cave🚣♂️There's no need to make a reservation, so just tell the captain that you want to get on🙆♀️On the way back, they will stop by the beach🏖If you want to relax, you can get off here and they will come to pick you up again🤲The price is 15EUR per person!

#SeptemberTravelSupportEvent I purchased a round-trip ferry ticket from Antalya Port to Mays Island in advance (35£) and went on a Blue Cave tour (15£) - Reason for recommendation: The water color inside the Blue Cave is so beautiful with an indescribable blue color! They drop you off at St. George Island on the way to Blue Cave, and you can swim and tan as much as you want! It was so great to swim! You can see more than 10 kinds of fish :) - Note: You can book a Blue Cave tour on the local island, but you have to make sure that the boat goes into the cave 🥲 I was surprised when they told me to go to the entrance and swim in.
