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! |
