Board a colourful local ferry and enjoy a relaxing trip across the cool blue Mediterranean waters, which will last about half an hour. During the trip, you’ll have plenty of photo opportunities of the local shoreline from Kas, as well as time to take in the sun.

One of the most popular things to do in Kastellorizo is to visit the blue cave. On arrival at Kastellorizo, there are plenty of smaller fishing boats that double up as tourist boats to take guests to the blue cave for about 10 euros. In order to get inside, you’ll need to lie flat on the deck of the boat as it slowly enters, but once inside, the cave opens up and is coloured a vivid blue colour due to the clear waters.

Visitors to the island also enjoy taking the 20-minute stroll up the hill to explore the castle. The views from this vantage point are amazing and make it a well-worthy trip up. Another reason not to forget your camera today.

The small town of Kastellorizo has a population of just a few hundred people and the laid-back pace of island living is a good reason why a lot of people come to visit. Grab lunch at a local taverna or enjoy a few beers under the shade as you let life drift by.

Whilst most people only do a day trip to this stunning island, some people enjoy the feeling when the day’s tourists leave on the 4 PM ferry. You can book at one of the town's guesthouses and take the ferry back the next day.

Return to Kas: At 4pm every day the ferry departs on the half hour journey back to the mainland and to Kas harbour. Enjoy the leisurely journey and soak in the remainder of the days sun as your ferry glides safely back to Kas.
