Kos Kastri Islet

The islet of Kastri in Kos: Right opposite the beach of Kefalos, on the southern side of Kos island, there is a tiny islet called Kastri. The landscape of this islet is rocky and barren, while there is only little vegetation. A huge rock stands on one side of the islet and on top of this rock, there are the remains of an old castle that used to guard the bay from enemies and pirates.

On the other side of the islet, there is a small chapel in blue and white colors dedicated to Saint Nicolas, the protector of sailormen. Kastri islet can be reached by swimming from Kefalos beach.
