Kas is an ideal center in which to be based to visit the numerous historical sites, participate in a wide range of sporting activities or for just relaxing and enjoying the excellent selection of bars & restaurants that this charming, unspoilt, and unbelievably beautiful region of Turkey has to offer.

Meis , Kastelorizo is the current official name in Greek is Μεγ?στη/Megisti; (Turkish: Meis , Italian: Castelrosso), is a small Greek island located in the Eastern Mediterranean, a short boat ride of approximately 1/2hour from Kas. The ferry leaves everyday at around 10.00hrs , returning to Kas around 16.30hrs. A picturesque island to visit, a trip to Mesi is a perfect outing from Kas. After exploring this tiny Island why not relax and admire the fantastic views whilst enjoying a meal and a few drinks at one of the many tavernas, finishing your day out with a trip to the duty free.
Located approxmately,1300 metres off the south coast of Turkey, Meis is approximately about 110 km east of Rhodes, almost halfway between Rhodes and Antalya. Ironically, although Just 4 square miles (10 km²) the name Megisti translates as biggest, the name, however, refers to the fact that it is the biggest of the small archipelago
