The view along the promenade on the west side of Kastellorizo harbour, Greece at My Favourite Planet

The west side of Kastellorizo harbour: view along the promenade to Agios Giorgos church (centre).

The promenade on the west side of Kastellorizo harbour is known officially as Odos 25 Martiou (25th March Street) after Greece's national holiday, Independence Day. The proclamation by Greeks in the Peloponnese on 25th March 1821 marked the beginning of the war of independence against Ottoman Turkey.

Although the Greek mainland and many islands achieved independence between 1821 and 1922, Kastellorizo and its mini archipelago only became part of the modern Greek state in 1947 after World War II and liberation from Italian occupation.
