leaving for Kastelorizo |
|
heading towards the horizon |
|
nearly 3 hours later... |
|
Kastelorizo, the setting for Mediterraneo |
|
only a few hundred inhabitants left, from the original 10,000 |
|
local fishermen |
|
a quick stroll and you have seen it all |
|
time for lunch, freshly caught, cleaned and cooked seafood |
I was going to go to Symi, a small island off the coast for a day trip, but at the last minute changed my mind and decided to go to Kastelorizo instead.
Almost all the Greek people I ever met in Australia came from Kastelorizo. I had heard that it was a beautiful island.
The trip from Rhodes took much longer than I thought, but it was worth the short time there.
Kastelorizo is the smallest of the Dodecanese islands. At one point it had over 10,000 inhabitants. Today there are about 350.
Kastelorizo was the setting for the 1991 Oscar winning film Mediterraneo.
a presto
