Meis (Kastellorizo)

Meis, or Kastellorizo, is a very pleasant day trip from Kas or Kalkan.

This tiny Dodecanese island with its population of a couple of hundred, sits opposite the harbour of Kas and in the day time you could be forgiven for thinking it is uninhabited as the port town on the landward side can be a little hard to spot.

At night however the lights of the houses, shops and restuarants along the promenade twinkle enticingly across the moonlight bay.

Kastellorizo has an interesting history of its own, governed by Rhodes, Egypt, the Venetian Doge and the Ottoman Turks.

It's 20th century history gets much more complicated with the little island passing through the hands of the French, Italians and the British.

The events leading up to and including the 2nd World War pretty much decimated the island and its population and the fact that there's anybody here at all is a testament to the islanders determination to keep their community alive
