Strongyli Kastellorizou
Strongyli Kastellorizou, also called Strongili or Ipsili, is a Greek islet which lies in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, about five nautical miles south-east of the island of Kastelorizo. The island is about 1.5 km long, and up to 700 m wide. It covers an area of about 0.9 km. It is rather flat and covered with macchia. The islet has no permanent residents. Strongyli is the easternmost Greek Territory. Administratively it is part of the Municipality of Megisti.
Kastellorizo Airport
Kastellorizo Island Public Airport is an airport on the small island Kastellorizo, Greece, part of the Dodekanesos island group. The facility is located more or less on the middle of the Island, about 2.5 km southwest of the city Megisti. In the beginning of the twentieth century, the island of Kastellorizo was linked by seaplanes to destinations mainly in northeast Africa. The seaplanes used the natural horse-shoe sized harbour of the island.
Operation Abstention
Operation Abstention was the code name given to the British invasion of the Italian island of Kastelorizo, off Turkey, during the Second World War, on late February 1941. The goal was to establish a pivotal base to challenge the Italian naval and air supremacy on the Dodecanese islands.
