The Castle of the Knights of Saint John and the hamam (Turkish bath) on Kastellorizo island, Greece at My Favourite Planet

The Knights' Castle (left) and the hamam or Turkish bath (right) from the southeast.

The Castle of the Knights of Saint John

The Knights Hospitaller of Rhodes took over the island in 1306 and built their castle between 1379 and 1383. The ruins of the tower are only half of its original height, and are just a small part of the knights' fortifications.

Nearby are the remains of a small hamam (Turkish bath), a windmill and various later military buildings.
