Best Beaches in Kasos — Real-Time Wind Conditions

Swimming in Kasos

Kasos is the southernmost island of the Dodecanese, sitting between Karpathos and Crete in open sea. It's rugged, windswept, and authentic — a place that sees few tourists and rewards those who make the journey with genuine Greek island hospitality.

Wind exposure can be significant here, as Kasos sits in the channel between Karpathos and Crete where the Meltemi accelerates. The island's beaches are mostly on the sheltered south coast, where natural bay formations provide protection from the prevailing winds.

Swimming is best from June to September. Kasos is as far from mass tourism as you can get in Greece — its beaches are small, its waters are crystalline, and the welcome is warm.

Swimming season: June to September
