Why go

A lighthouse islet marking Greece's far southeastern edge.

Strongyli near Kastellorizo is a small strategic island with a prominent lighthouse and no conventional visitor infrastructure.

Strongyli lies southeast of Kastellorizo and helps define Greece's maritime geography at the edge of the Levantine Sea. Its lighthouse has long served navigation on routes between the Aegean and eastern Mediterranean.

The island is not a public resort or casual landing place. Strategic sensitivities, lighthouse operations and a very small presence require visitors to view it from authorised boats and respect all restrictions.

Practical information

There is no regular ferry. Check current rules in Kastellorizo, remain clear of military and lighthouse areas and do not land without explicit permission.
