EMBORIOS  for the culture of kasos

Pictures of family and friends who live on the island most, if not all, of the year round. Pictures of the island itself, the villages, the churches and the places of local importance. Even some of the animals that are such an important part of Kasos island life.

The long winter nights are over and the island is beginning to wake up. The sun is pleasantly warm and the air is fresh. Pictures from Easter, which changes its date from year to year, and pictures of cheese making, which takes place towards the end of May.

The island's descendants return to make good their properties and reacquaint themselves with Kasos, their family and friends. Pictures of long days messing around at Emborios, pictures of the various annual summer festivals, and pictures from a boat ride out to collect kritama and salt.

Many of the summer residents have gone and the island is less busy and more relaxed. There are still plenty of pleasant and warm days left before winter sets in. Pictures of the olive harvest, which normally takes place in November after the first big rainfall, and pictures of the annual festival at Agios Dimitrios.
