Kastellorizo
4 beaches
Kastellorizo, the easternmost island of Greece and the European Union, is a hidden gem of rare authenticity in the southeastern Aegean. With virtually no sandy beaches, it compensates with rocky coves, wooden jetties, and breathtakingly clear turquoise waters perfect for snorkeling and swimming. The legendary Blue Grotto, accessible only by small boat, offers one of the most magical sea experiences in the Mediterranean. Ideal for slow travelers, romantics, and those seeking an unspoiled Greek island escape far from the crowds. Here, the pace is unhurried, the atmosphere cinematic (immortalized by the Oscar-winning film 'Mediterraneo'), and the sea, endlessly inviting.
