only 27 nautical miles northeast of Crete. The mountainous island covers an area
of 66 km2 and has a coastline of 50 km. Despite its small size, it was a
significant naval power in the Aegean area.
The town of Kassos, or Fri as it is known, is also the port of the island
where the fishing boats of the inhabitants are anchored. The sea around Kassos
is a rich fishing ground.
There are tranquil beaches and a cave of archaeological interest.
