On the west coast of Kasos, three small bays with clear waters form Antiperatos beach \u2014 a place where natural beauty is inextricably linked to one of the most tragic chapters in the island's history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The western side of Kasos is home to the beach of Antiperatos, formed by three successive coves with clear waters and a pebbly coastline. Its exposure to the northerly winds often gives movement to its waves, a quality that sets it apart from the more sheltered beaches of the island and gives it a wilder, more open character compared to the calmer bays of the southern coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This area, however, is not only important for its natural beauty. Antiperatos is closely linked to the Holocaust of Kasos in 1824: according to local tradition, it was at this very spot\u2014or very close to it\u2014that the Ottoman-Egyptian force that destroyed the island landed, having been led there through an unguarded route. The monument that stands today in the area recalls this history, giving the beach a significance that goes beyond its simple natural beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
