Kastellorizo
Kastellorizo, also known as Megisti, is the easternmost Greek island, offering a picturesque and intimate setting for any premium yacht charter. Famous for its vibrant neoclassical mansions lining the harbor, this island is a true masterpiece of Mediterranean architecture. A blue cruise to Kastellorizo is incomplete without visiting the legendary Blue Grotto, one of the most stunning sea caves in Europe, featuring exceptional sea quality and glowing azure waters. The rugged coastal structure and deep, transparent sea make it a paradise for diving and swimming. Despite its small size, the island’s sophisticated waterfront venues provide a warm welcome and exquisite local flavors, making it a favorite for those seeking peace and elegance.

Personal Insight
Captain's Note
“"Sailing out of Kaş and gliding into Meis's colorful neoclassical harbor is the most elegant way to change countries by sea. Don't be fooled by the depth in the middle of the bay; drop your anchor securely, pay out plenty of chain, and get ready—the Caretta Carettas will be waiting for you at the quay."
