On New Year’s Eve, traditional carols from Kasos were featured on ERTNews. These carols, distinct from the more widely known Christmas and New Year songs, embody the island’s unique cultural identity with local lyrics, rhythms, and melodies influenced by maritime traditions. The New Year carols focus on festive wishes for the coming year and often include improvised verses honoring hosts. Although less recognized than other island traditions, the Kasos carols hold significant folkloric importance and are a treasured part of Greek heritage.
