Kastellorizo gallery |
 |
 |
1 of 260 |
 |
 |
|
| |
View of the north of Kastellorizo (the red castle) at dawn from the Turkish resort of Kaş. |
| |
| Gallery contents |
| |
260 pages of photos of Kastellorizo with detailed commentary.
Browsing the gallery will take you on a journey across a short stretch of Mediterranean Sea from Kaş in Turkey to the Greek island of Kastellorizo, and then on a walk around some of the sights of the island.
We enjoyed it, and we hope you do too.
Bon voyage! Or as they say in Greece, kalo taxidi! |
