History of the city of Cardamena
There is no precise data on when Cardamena was founded. Probably around the same time as the city of Kos (around V-IV centuries BC, although the first settlements appeared here much earlier - in the XI century BC). In the III century BC the city was called Alasarna and was considered one of the most important strategic sites of Kos island. The main occupations of the locals were military campaigns and fishing. Not much has changed since then - the town is still considered the main fishing point of the island.
In recent years, Kardamena has evolved from a small village into a holidays and festivals, as well as in beautiful modern resort, with wonderfully equipped sandy beaches.
