Saint George's
Island & short escapes

Minutes from the harbour
Flexible add-on or standalone stop
The Idea

The most-loved swim, just minutes from Kastellorizo.

A short crossing to the small islet of Agios Georgios, where crystal-clear water meets a quiet chapel setting and an easy, relaxed seaside stop.

Itinerary
1 · Short crossing
Just a few minutes from the main harbour, we head east-southeast across calm water.
2 · Anchor & swim
We stop in sheltered water and anchor close to shore. Time to swim, relax, and enjoy the surroundings.
3 · The chapel
A short swim or tender to shore leads to the small chapel, always open to visitors.
4 · Flexible stop
Agios Georgios can be part of a longer tour or a standalone stop — we can also arrange a simple drop-off and pickup time depending on your plan.

The experience is fully flexible and often adjusted around sea conditions and daily traffic, especially during busy periods.

Other nearby stops & short escapes

Around Kastellorizo, we use a selection of very close coastal spots depending on conditions, timing and guest preference — each offering a different kind of swimming experience.

Nifti Bay
A small, sheltered inlet located just behind Agios Georgios. Quiet and protected, it offers still waters and a more intimate swimming spot, often used when conditions around the main areas are busier.
Plakes limestone coves
A stretch of nine distinct swimming points formed along white limestone rock. Each cove has its own shape and depth, offering crystal water, easy swimming access and multiple spots to stop, explore and move between during the day.
Agios Stefanos bay
A naturally sheltered bay on the eastern side of the island, offering calm water and a more protected environment. It's often used as a resting point or as part of longer coastal routes around Kastellorizo.

All stops are used flexibly and can be combined into longer itineraries or short custom experiences depending on sea conditions and guest preference.

Flexibility & onboard experience

All itineraries are flexible and can be adjusted depending on weather conditions, timing and guest preferences, including route combinations and duration.

We also collaborate with selected local restaurants and delicatessen providers who can supply onboard meals — from light picnic-style selections to full dining options — so your time on the water can also include a taste of Kastellorizo.

Your short escape on the water.

Easy add-on to any longer journey, or a relaxed standalone stop.
