Kasos, the pure island of the Dodecanese

Kasos, the pure island of the Dodecanese

Travel back in time to this small island, which remains largely untouched by tourism and introduces visitors to an authentic slice of Greece from a bygone era.

Kasos is located in the east of Crete and is the southernmost of the Dodecanese island complex. Take a walk from Pounta to Emporio to enjoy the sunset or swim at its beach, which is especially pleasant when there is no north wind.

Subsequently, head to Panagia, ένα όμορφο χωριό με μια σειρά από καλοδιατηρημένα αρχοντικά σπίτια που ξεχωρίζουν για τους επιβλητικούς αρχαϊκούς κίονες στην είσοδό τους και τις όμορφα σκαλιστές ξύλινες πόρτες τους. In the same village is the church of Pera Panagia, which hosts one of the biggest festivals of the island on 15 August, national holiday marking the Assumption of the Virgin. The six small churches located in the village are also an excellent example of Byzantine architecture.

Highlights of Kasos

Sights

The old port of Buka

It is located near the main port of Fri, the locals in the pre-Ottoman era put all their considerable skills into building this port 2.000 years. In the church of Agios Spyridon, with the ornate bell tower, the owner has an important collection of family photographs depicting life on the island over the last century.

Saint Mama Church

This landmark is best visited in the off-season, so you can truly appreciate the synergy between the Byzantine architecture and the stunning Aegean seascape. September 2nd is an important date for this church. The locals gather for a big religious festival and stay in the monastery dormitories at night

Beaches of Kasos

Passing Friday and Buca as you head west, you will come across a small church dedicated to Agios Konstantinos (Saint Constantine) which marks the turn towards Ammouas beach. If you continue for approx 5 kilometers further along the road, you will reach the beach of Antiperatos, η οποία αποτελείται από τρεις μικρούς κολπίσκους με εξαιρετικά γαλαζοπράσινα νερά που μπορεί να ταραγούν λίγο στους βόρειους ανέμους. Αξίζει μια επίσκεψη και η παραλία του Χέλαθρου, consisting of huge rocks hugging a beautiful bay with clear water.

Gastronomy

Local Traditional Dairy Flavors

Η Κάσος φημίζεται για τα εξαιρετικά της τυριά και άλλα γαλακτοκομικά προϊόντα. Κοντά στην είσοδο του χωριού της Αγίας Μαρίνας όταν ταξιδεύετε από το Αντιπέρατο, the cheese factory of the Bonaparte family is located, the only large company on the island that produces fine local cheeses and exports throughout Greece. Agios Georgios in Hadia is approx 15 kilometers further along the main road and along with Mytata, is where the people of Kasos have been producing cheese for decades.
