Arvanitochori, the village of the olive mill

Arvanitochori lies among stone-walled terraces in the middle of the island, between Agia Marina and Poli. It was built inland, like Agia Marina, for fear of the pirates. Today it is a quiet village of about 170 people, with the Folklore Museum of Kasos, a traditional olive mill and the church of Agios Dimitrios.
