Why Kasos
Information On KasosKasos is a small island that belongs to the Dodecanese complex and is located a bit southwest of Karpathos. Kasos is the 6th largest island of the complex. Kasos is a mountainous, rocky and infertile island with elongated shape. The island's capital and harbor is Fry. But what is worth more to visit here is the small picturesque Mpouka harbor, which was once used a pirate refuge, just next to the main port. Kasos is famous for its festivals, having organized dozens each year with traditional music and dances, local food and wine for all attendees. The biggest festival is held on August 15th in Panagia village. Kasos is a quiet destination for a relaxing holiday away from the noise and traffic of the city. On the island there is a gas station and an ATM machine of Emporiki Bank.

It is really worth taking the boat to the small nearby Armathia island, where there are a couple of incredible beaches.
