Kastellorizo was first colonised by Dorian Greeks and has over the centuries been ruled by Greeks, Byzantines, the Knights Hospitaller, the Ottomans, the French, for a brief period in WW1, and the Italians, before being assigned to Greece in 1947.The island can be reached by air or ferry from Piraeus, Rhodes or Kas. It features many, for its size, places of historical or natural interest, such as the Blue Cave, St. John's Castle, the citadel of Paleokastro and the Old Mosque and Folk Museum. There are also many tavernas, restaurants and cafes catering for all tastes and budgets.
