The hub

Kastelorizo, a private aviation
gateway for business travel

Kastelorizo — officially Megisti — sits at the extreme eastern tip of Greek territory, just 2 nautical miles off the Turkish coast near Kaş. With a resident population of roughly 500, the island's economy revolves almost entirely around summer tourism and a growing UHNWI charter segment drawn by its radical exclusivity: no mass tourism infrastructure, no large hotels, and a natural harbor lined with Ottoman-era and neoclassical mansions that achieved global recognition through the film Mediterraneo. Family offices and private clients seeking an uncrowded Aegean alternative to Mykonos or Santorini have increasingly routed charters through the island during June–September.

Aviation access is the island's defining operational constraint. Kastelorizo Airport (LGKJ/KZS) operates a short sealed strip — approximately 660 meters — suitable only for small single or light twin-engine aircraft and helicopters. The airport has no ILS and operates strictly daylight hours; all movements require prior coordination (PPR). Customs clearance is available but must be arranged in advance. For larger aircraft, the operational gateway is Rhodes Diagoras, with surface or helicopter transfer completing the final leg. Many charter operators position a light piston or turboprop to KZS as a dedicated island-hop following the main transatlantic or European leg into Athens Eleftherios Venizelos.

The island's proximity to Kaş, Turkey creates an unusual bilateral dynamic: guests frequently combine a Kastelorizo stay with a day trip across the strait by tender or speedboat, making the routing Athens–KZS–Antalya a practical circuit for eastern Mediterranean yacht charters. The Greece charter season peaks sharply between late June and early September, when KZS slot availability tightens and advance PPR submission becomes critical for guaranteed access.
