Pinelopi Plaka and Giannis Fragkiskos take us on a joyful summer journey across twelve unique Aegean islands. They explore Amorgos, Astypalaia, Ikaria, Samos, Karpathos, Naxos, Paros, Leros, Kalymnos, Kassos, Kos, and Sifnos, diving into their culture, nature, cuisine, and people. Every island holds a new adventure!

In this episode, Pinelopi and Giannis drop anchor at the port of Kasos, the southernmost island of the Dodecanese. An ideal destination for relaxing holidays, the island seems untouched by time. It is renowned for its picturesque villages, pristine beaches, lively local festivals, traditional music, and its delicious cuisine.

Their exploration begins from the island’s capital and port, Fri. Pinelopi and Giannis are charmed by the impressive stone-built mansions and the beautiful narrow alleys. There, they meet the mayor of Kasos, with whom they discuss the island’s glorious history, its natural beauty, and the tourism services it has to offer.

The adventure continues at sea. They board a small boat and set sail for the uninhabited but magical islet of Armathia. The two presenters dive into the crystal-clear blue waters of the island’s famous beach, which has become the landmark of Kasos.

Later, they get a true taste of the culture of Kasos: they roll traditional "dolmadakia", sample local delicacies, visit an authentic traditional home steeped in heritage, make the island’s unique cheese sitaka, and end the day with music and dancing, enjoying the authentic Kassiot sound—a key element of the island’s cultural identity. Naturally, they also seek out conversations with locals, who reveal the secrets of the handmade lyra and the traditional everyday objects once used by Kassiots in their homes and fields.

The warm and hospitable people of Kasos, its enduring traditions, pristine beaches, charming villages, and delicious dishes are just some of the reasons that will surely bring Penelope and Yiannis back to this destination—compass or no compass...
