Greece is one of the most visited countries in the world, boasting plenty of sun-filled spots across the mainland and stunning islands. Among the most popular islands, visited by millions every year, are Crete, Mykonos, Rhodes, and Santorini. Yet, there is an island that is just as beautiful and is visited only by a fraction of the number of tourists. The untouched island of Kasos is located in the southernmost part of the Aegean Sea.

This hidden gem island with few tourists makes it the perfect destination for UK holidaymakers to truly enjoy a peaceful escape. Kasos boasts plenty of beaches for Brits to soak up the sunshine. The coastline which stretches 60 kilometres is home to all types of beaches, rocky, sandy, secluded - whatever you're looking for, you're bound to find.

The most popular is Emporios Beach—a small sandy one with shallow blue waters, particularly attractive to families with little ones. It also has a number of tourist facilities, including changing rooms, sunbeds, and umbrellas, so those who visit are well looked after.

Vlicha Beach being close to the island's main port is ideal for those who would like to remain in the island's centre. It is also perfect for those who would like to enjoy a quick swim.

With the island being relatively small, taking a stroll around the picturesque villages and coast is a great way to see all of Kasos' beautiful sights. The island's treasure truly is the untouched beauty that lies across the land.

Fri also known as Hora is the main settlement of the island, welcoming visitors who arrive by boat. Walking through the paved alleyways is an enchanting experience. The pathways are lined with beautiful pebble mosaics, homes that used to belong to sailors and stunning churches. 

Why not take the walk a step further and select one of Kasos' hiking trails, which will take you to some of the least accessible parts of the island. The Wild Kasos route starts at the incredible Monastery of Agios.

The 8.6-kilometre hike then ends at the village of Agia Marina, which sits on top of a beautiful hill and houses a beautiful beach, which one visitor described as "perfect" on TripAdvisor.

They said: "Agia Marina beach is perfect for swimming, sunbathing, watersports and for example just walking, running and admiring both the sunrise and sunset. It is sandy and shallow and suits all ages. The Lifeguards work tirelessly for the safety of everyone."
