About Armathia & the Kasonisia
Off the north-west coast of Kasos lie the Kasonisia, a scatter of uninhabited islets. The largest are Armathia and Makronisi. Armathia has Marmara, a beach of white sand and pale turquoise water that the islanders call the Caribbean of Kasos, reached only by boat from Fry in summer. From the hills of Kasos, the islets are the silhouette of every sunset.
