According to the 2021 census, there were 2,132 inhabitants. Its land area is 35.150 km2. Between June and September, the town population triples due to the influx of tourists.

As you explore Kardamaina, you will be mesmerized by its crystal-clear waters and sandy beaches. The most popular beach in the area is the eponymous Kardamaina Beach, which boasts a long stretch of soft sand and shallow waters perfect for swimming.

Aside from its beaches, Kardamaina is home to several historic landmarks that are worth visiting. The most famous of these is the Antimachia Castle, which dates back to the 14th century and was once used to defend the island against invaders.
