The marina is a touch of luxury and opportunity to restock. We booked our tickets in Kas town for the short ferry ride from Turkey to Greece.
Kastellerrizon is an island that has suffered from a decreasing population during the 20th century. The buildings that still existed on the waterfront were evidence of a bustling town of merchants. It was sad to walk the back streets and observe the obvious decay and depopulation.
However, many of the still existing buildings were in good condition and had the hope of rejuvenation. This is obvious from the current photographs of the waterfront. However, the old photographs show a different perspective of a larger town and active seafront.
After a walk around the town we had lunch, observed the resident turtles then arranged a 10E each small open boat trip to the Blue Cave. This was a highlight and again the photos do not do it justice. Entrance was through a very small opening and we had to crouch very low in the open boat to get in to the cave.
