		The ruins of the castle after which the island is named are barely visible on the cliffs as the boat sails past the old mosque that is now a bar and the surviving brightly coloured, neoclassical houses that line the tiny horseshoe-shaped port.

		With modern, high-speed ferries and a slick new 35-seater aircraft now bringing daily arrivals of Australians during the summer, the Aussie presence on Kastellorizo is immediately obvious, not least from the accents that echo around the harbour in increasing decibels.

	The Greek Island of Kastellorizo, Castelrosso or Megiste
		Kastellorizo was originally named after the castle, built of the native red rock, once inhabited by Crusades era knights; the medieval Knights of Rhodes, who became the Knights of Malta, named it Chateau Roux, or Red Castle, after the color of its rocks; this was corrupted into Kastellorizo.
		Kastellorizo may not be the best place to visit unless necessary; this is because of its limited harbor area.
		Unmarried girls of Kastellorizo have a May Day tradition of fetching water from the cistern outside the town, as all the young men of the village gather to watch; the girls get the water, remaining completely mute until they cross the threshold of their homes with the “mute water,” bringing good luck to the household.

		Kastellorizo is a lovely, low key, slightly sleepy place where the main occupation of everyone is to watch everyone else.
