Presentazione generale
Karpathos
Mountainous island between Rhodes and Crete, with preserved villages, windy beaches, cliffs, trails and strong identity around Olympos.
To understand what Karpathos is, look at Olympia, Pigadia and Apella. These places give us the opportunity to see a territory marked by island landscapes, the coastline, mountain reliefs and heritage, and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
Vedi tutto
For a stay of 4 to 8 days, it is best to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: frequent wind and long roads. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Remarkable location
Kassos
Kassos is an island of Dodecanese more discreet than Karpathos, with simple ports, whitewashed houses, chapels and very strong maritime memory. The crossing leads to a dry and windy landscape, appreciated by travelers who accept little infrastructure in exchange for a preserved island atmosphere.
Town or village
Olympos
Olympos clings to the slopes of the north of Karpathos, long isolated, with colorful houses, mills, steep alleys and costumes still visible during the holidays. The journey itself, between cliffs and mountains, prepares for a village more austere and singular than the ports of the island.
Town or village
Pigadia
Pigadia, Karpathos-city, is the main port of the island, with seafront, restaurants, ferries and long beaches nearby. It serves mainly as a practical basis for organising trips to Apella, mountain villages and the more isolated north around Olympos.
Town or village
Apella
Apella is a beach cashed from Karpathos, tight between pines, light cliffs and very transparent water. The access road descends in a dry and rugged setting, then the bay offers a clear contrast between mountainous relief and protected swimming.
