Harbour-side houses and Agios Giorgos Tou Pigadiou church in the centre of Kastellorizo, Greece at My Favourite Planet

The centre of Kastellorizo harbour: harbour-side houses and Agios Giorgos Tou Pigadiou church.

At southwest corner of the U-shaped harbour, the late 19th century church of Agios Georgios Tou Pigadiou, Saint George of the Well built next to what once one of the harbour's most important fresh water sources.

This is just one of at least five churches and chapels dedicated to Agios Georgios (Saint George) on Kastellorizo, not to mention the chapel on the islet of Agios Georgios off the coast of Mandraki harbour (see photos of Mandraki on gallery pages 223 and 224).

Behind the narrow coastal strip on which the centre of Kastellorizo harbour stands, the steep limestone cliffs rise dramatically to a rugged plateau around 200 metres above sea level.
