With its average of 300 days of sunshine a year, whitewashed houses with bright Bougainvillea, historical sites and fine beaches, Kalkan is a popular tourist spot for foreign and local tourists alike.

A small yet safe harbour with a quaint, cosy atmosphere, a very nice place to spend the night. There is a blue flag beach just as opposite the harbour with crystal clear refreshingly cool water.

Kastellerizo is a small Greek Island which has had many different names throughout history; Kastellorizo, Castellorizo, Castelorosso. Its current official name is Megisti meaning 'largest' as despite it being tiny it is the largest of the immediate archipelago.

Kastellerizo is a favourite among regulars who, no matter how few days they have to sail in the area, always make a direct route to the enchanting island. After a wander around the island, King Prawns larger than your plate washed down with house wine on a table 2 steps from your yacht's swimming platform makes watching the sunset a brand new experience.
