Dear friends & guests,

Welcome to one of the least places on earth (still) without any corona virus cases. Covid-19 cases are still rising in many parts of , but Kasos, is a rare place in that one can safely say it's covid-free.

(Note: This piece was written in late February 2021, during which the island of Kasos has no confirmed cases of the corona virus in any of its communities)

Although the outbreak of Covid-19 didn’t touch Kasos, has brought an enormous impact on our holiday time too. The natural isolation of Kasos led to the containment of the virus, but now it create hurdles, since there are limited medical resources here. The health protocols and measures Kasos Tours has put in place to ensure the utmost care and safety of the inhabitants. With the vaccines on the horizon, Kasos Tours is committed to offer a safe ground for our guests to feel both secure and relaxed when traveling on the Greek island of Kasos in 2021.

So, please do take a moment to read the below measures that are put in place in order to ensure a series of safe and relaxing experiences for you with more preparedness and optimism and with respect to our inland communities. COVID-19 SPESIFICATION
