Exploring the Island

Karpathos is the second largest island of the Greek Dodecanese region and lies between Rhodes and Crete.

Together with the smaller island of Saria to the north it forms the municipality of Karpathos. Karpathos always had a remote location and therefore preserved many local traditions in clothing, dialect, history and customs. The island is yours to explore and its people offer you a warm welcome. Arrange your own transportation, or book an excursion by boat from Pigadia, and drive to Olympos, a must-see village in the north. Learn about its rich history and customs. Later that day enjoy a great lunch in Diafani and try the warm Aegean sea on the East coast.

 

Karpathos offers beautifull beaches like Apella and Kyra Panagia, nestled along its breathtaking coastline. Windsurfing enthusiasts will find paradise in Afiartis, while Lefkos on the west coast welcomes you with its scenic beaches and charming eateries. Enjoy Greek local cuisine, witness traditional festivals, and travel to picturesque villages.

 

Don't miss the chance to create lasting memories on this Greek gem, where the warmth of the people matches the sun-soaked landscapes. Karpathos promises an unforgettable journey filled with beauty and authentic experiences.
