Agios Savvas church and the island's cemetry, Mandraki harbour, Kastellorizo, Greece at My Favourite Planet

Mandraki harbour from the Knights' Castle.

On the small peninsula (centre left of the photo) is the church of Agios Savvas (Saint Savvas) and the island's cemetery, in which are also graves of French soldiers killed during World War I and other foreigners.

From this perspective, it is also clear just how narrow the coastal strip on which Kastellorizo town, the island's only settlement, stands. Within a few hundred meters or less, the steep cliffs rise to the triangular plateau which takes up most of island's surface. The rough, mountainous terrain of this plateau, the highest point of which is the 273 metre high Mount Vigla, makes farming or other economic activity unviable.
