Kastellorizo or Castellorizo (Greek: Καστελλόριζο - Kastellorizo, officially Μεγίστη - Megisti or Meyisti) is a Greek island and municipalitylocated in the southeastern Mediterranean. It lies roughly 2 kilometres (1 mile) off the south coast of Turkey, about 570 km (354 mi) southeast of Athens and 125 km (78 mi) east of Rhodes, almost halfway between Rhodes and Antalya and 280 km (170 mi) to Cypru Kastellorizo is part of the Rhodes regional unit.
The meaning of its current official name Megisti (Μεγίστη) is "biggest" or "greatest", but at only 11.987 km2 (5 sq mi) in area, it is the smallest of the Dodecanese. The name, however, refers to the fact that it is the largest of the small archipelago.

Click here for commentairesHello from Kastellorizo, and we thank you from our heart for showcasing our island. An earnest request only, to help us even more. If possible, please write the name of Kastellorizo correctly, with two L's, and not incorrectly "Kastelorizo" with one L.
Kastellorizo island has other names too (Megisti, Polyistor, etc), and each gives a valuable piece of identity. The following link presents all the facts (in Greek and English). Please love Kastellorizo as much as we do!
