Antiperatos beach is in the western part of Kasos.

It is a beach strewn with pebbles and its waters are crystal-clear and blue. Because of its position, it is exposed to northerly winds. This complicates slightly swimming but also makes Antiperatos beach an excellent destination for windsurfing.

Emporios beach is about half a kilometer from Fry .

It is a sandy beach with gorgeous blue waters. Kaso's old port was situated here, before the new port at Fry was created. Emporios beach usually attracts most swimmers of the island, so on the beach you will find sun loungers and parasols.

Kasos can be reached by air with a flight from Rhodes island that makes a stopover at Karpathos.

The airport of Kasos is about one kilometer from Fry and you can get there only by taxi or private vehicle.

Kasos, in the Dodecanese Islands, can be reached by ferry from the port of Piraeus and Crete.

Kasos is mentioned by Homer in the Iliad, as participating in the Trojan War with ships. Traces of Mycenaean settlements have been found in the southern part of the island. However, the residents abandoned it to transfer to the more protected and fertile north. The new settlement developed around today's Poli, as indicated by the archaeological findings from the area. Only few things are known about Kasos' history, such as the fact that in 1537 it was transfered into Ottoman administration. During the Ottoman occupation, Kasos enjoed commercial privileges and prospered economically.

Just before the 1821 Revolution, Kasos has approximately 12.000 residents and a 100 sheep fleet. With these forces it participates actively in the uprising, succeeding in giving decisive strikes to the Turkish fleet. However, the activity of the people of Kasos constitutes the island a target. So, in May 1824, the Turkish-Egyptian fleet attacks the island but the inhabitants resist strongly, managing to repel the enemy; although unfortunately, only temporarily. On June 7, several thousands of soldiers land on the island in Antiperato, at a point where a traitor from Kasos suggested. Residents resist and fall fighting heroically, only for the merciless slaughter to follow. It is estimated that about 7000 were killed or sold as slaves in Egypt. For several years the island remained deserted, and when people started to gradually return, it never regained its population and economic power.

In 1911, Kasos is under Italian administration, until it permanently joins Greece in 1948 together with the rest Dodecanese.

Kasos is the southernmost island of the Dodecanese. It is located between Karpathos and Crete.

Kasos has an area of approximately 66 square kilometers and a coastline of 59 km. The island's capital and its only port is Fry, while it has four more villages: Poli, Arvanitohori, Agia Marina and Panagia. The highest point of the island is the Prionas top at an altitude of 601 meters, followed by Periolas (500 meters) and Korakas (494 meters).

The approximately one thousand residents are engaged in agriculture, livestock and fisheries. Among the local products the excellent cheeses stand out.

Once you get to Kasos you face the new port, Fry. This is the resting place for ships and picturesque fishing boats. Visit the church of Agios Spyridon, patron saint of the island, admire its wooden temple and continue to Emporio, the old port which now attracts many swimmers. Then go up to Poli and enjoy the magnificent views of Kasos and the beautiful Aegean Sea. Continue wandering in the island and discover its secrets, passing by Ellinokamara.

Beautiful Kasos awaits for you.

Right next to Plaka, upon the sacred rock of Acropolis, is the area of Anafiotika.

One can say that Anafiotika is maybe the smallest neighborhood in Athens, but most certainly the most picturesque.

Its history starts in the 19th century, when builders from the island of Anafi settled in the area in order to help in the rapid reconstruction of the city of Athens that was gradually transforming from a village to a new capital.

Actually, many of them worked in the erection of the palaces of King Othon, who was the first modern king of Greece in 1832.

It is said that the people of Anafiotika, who were famous builders at the time, chose to built their own houses upon the rock of Acropolis, because the specific location was reminiscent of their hometown. In an effort to intensify this feeling, all the houses they built (most of them illegal) are a typical example of cycladic architecture, while the new neighborhood was named Anafiotika after their home-island Anafi.

So, a tiny "aegean island" was created, with small and low white houses just in the heart of Athens. This was a place inhabited exclusively by islanders until 1922. It is only after the Asia Minor Catastrophe (Mikrasiatiki Katastrofi) that some refugees did settle in.

Today the area of Anafiotika is a preserved village with approximately 45 houses.

It is worth visiting, not only for its characteristic beauty and the quaint neighborhoods, but also for the breathtaking view it offers, overlooking a great part of Athens.

Agistri, like most areas in Greece, is an excellent choice if you want to see first hand the traditional Greek Easter.

However, Easter is not the only feast around here. In Agistri several other panigiria take place throughout the year(mainly of religious nature)such as:

• Easter Friday, Zoodochou Pigis
• July 1, Agion Anargyron
• July 7, Agia Kyriaki
• August 15, Virgin Mary

In each of these occasions you will have fun with the Greek traditional way, ie with great food and endless drinking, dancing and singing until the morning.

The island's beautiful natural environment invites you to explore it on foot. Walking among the pines is an unforgettable experience. If you don't fancy walking, you can explore the island with a bicycle. The pure, clear atmosphere makes Agistri an ideal place for cycling.

If you get tired of the land, brace yourself; an amazing sea and water sports await! Canoe-kayak and paddle boats attract most water sports enthusiasts. Those who love diving, will find their paradise in Agistri. The wonderful seabed with its hidden beauties will take your breath away, while, if you are lucky, on the west side of the island you can also see sunken antiquities. As the sea in Agistri is extremely clear, you may combine diving with underwater fishing.

In the southwestern part of Agistri island, lies Aponisos beach.

Aponisos beach has a unique natural beauty and pine trees that almost embrace the gorgeous blue sea. In these clear waters you can enjoy a fantastic swim in a sheltered bay, which many choose to reach with their yacht.

And when the hunger-time arrives, you will find a very good tavern with wonderful view.
