Kasos

Places to see

  • Towns and villages. Fry is the capital and main port of the island. Emporios is the old trade harbor of the island. Agia Marina village is one of the most beautiful in Kasos. Panaghia is a lovely village with several well-maintained stately homes, imposing archaic columns, and exquisitely carved wooden doors. Poli is the old capital of Kasos and is 2 kilometers away from the current capital. Arvanitochori village is situated almost in the island’s center, 3 kilometers from the capital. Many tourists visit Arvanitochori village to see its beautiful architecture.
  • Beaches. From busy to secluded, there’s a beach on Kasos for everyone. Visit one or more of them, such as Emporios, Ammounda, Helatros, and Armathia.

Things to do

  • Caving. The caves of Kasos, Ellinokamara, and Selai (Stilokamara) were once a place of refuge during pirate raids. It’s best to hire a local guide.
  • Swim. Emporios offers an organized sandy beach with shallow, calm waters.
  • Windsurf. One good spot is at Helatros in the southern part of the island.
  • Snorkel. With its soft sand and cobalt blue waters, the beach of Marmara makes a perfect spot for swimming and snorkeling.
  • Dine. If you’re not in a hurry, visit Milos taverna in Fry. The food is local, and there’s a good sea view. Or, for fresh seafood, go to Meltemi, also in Fry.
