We took this trip from Karpathos to get a glimpse of Kasos island and armathia beach as we heard from locals in Karpathos at a cost of 20 euros per person. Same was also verified through the phone. Armathia beach is located at an island close to Kasos port something like 20 minutes trip. We left at 09:45 from Karpathos. After a hard and bumpy ride we arrived at 11:20 at Kasos. The boat was leaving at 13:00 for Armathia. We had less than 2 hours at Kasos port and we practically saw nothing. At 13:00 we left for Armathia beach and then we where informed that we had to pay extra 20 euros per person. It was beautiful but windy and we stayed there for 3 hours. Then we returned to Kasos port with immediate departure for Karpathos. We returned at around 18:30.
The boat was beautiful and clean. A family business which is an honest effort as this boat is a local enterprise for Kasos and must be supported. The crew was professional and polite.
Unfortunately the trip was a disaster. It is not worth it to do it from Karpathos. We spent almost four hours going up and down the islands with heavy nausea due to the bad weather and spent only one hour in Kasos and three hours at the Armathia beach.
We were not informed about the extra 20 euros for the Armathia trip and we were not offered any water or snack. There were free umbrellas though which should be mentioned. It is good to take the trip only to Kasos from Karpathos with 20 euros per person and at least to get to see the island for like 5.5 hours. Guys if you are seeing this, we love you we want to support you but most of all we need to have fun during our vacation and it is your job to make this happen with a value for money policy. Cheers.
