Municipality of Kasos

Municipality of Kasos is best known within Greece for the island of Kasos’s long seafaring tradition. Set in the southeastern Aegean Sea, the municipality centres on Kasos, a small Dodecanese island between Crete and Karpathos; it also includes the uninhabited islet of Armathia. Its dry, rocky terrain and indented shores have long made the sea central to local life. In the early 19th century, Kasos developed a substantial merchant fleet and supported the Greek Revolution, before the island was devastated in 1824 by Ottoman Egyptian forces. Fry is the administrative centre, while fishing, maritime memory and island cooking remain important parts of local identity.
