The west side of Kastellorizo's main harbour, known as the Pera Meria district is a collection of colourful old houses along the quayside, including the "blue house" (also known as "Mediterraneo house") which featured in Gabriele Salvatores' 1991 Oscar-winning Italian war film "Mediterraneo". On the hillside behind is the Italian built Caserma barracks, now a pension.
Other notable buildings in Pera Meria include:
The Gazadika, the chapel that never was.
Megisti Hotel, the modern low-rise municipal hotel.
Police staion and post office, built by the Italians in 1928.
