Arkasa & Agios Nikolaos Beach
Αρκάσα
A village on the southwest coast with mosaic remains of an early Christian cathedral. The nearby beach offers views of Kasos island.
Arkasa lies on the island's southwest coast. On the headland beside the village are the small Chapel of Agia Sophia and the remains of an early Christian cathedral, where fragments of mosaic floor survive, along with ruins of the ancient city of Arkesia. Not far south, St. Nicholas Beach is a fine sandy bay, where a small white chapel on the shore and the island of Kasos across the water make a classic scene, especially beautiful at sunset. It is about 20 minutes' drive from Pigadia.
