We stayed in a room 1 km from Pigadia, the capital of Karpathos and wandered around town to grab a bite and also pick up a few gifts at the souvenir shops. Nice town beach. But that was before we got to visit some of the other beaches in Karpathos. Those were simply awesome! Don't miss Apella... More >
Paradise at the moment

There was a lot to read on the Internet and in travel guides about Karpathos. The only thing that I would have liked and that I couldn't find was a map showing the location of accommodation in Lefkos. The apartments we eventually chose were quite a walk from the village and we would probably not... More >
I had heard many good things about Karpathos but I thought that other islands should come first, more famous and more developed than Karpathos. Wrong! It turned out that Karpathos has all we wanted from holidays plus calm atmosphere plus gorgeous landscape. The plane took only 1 hour to go from... More >
Souvenirs in Olympos

You might like to believe that the souvenirs you purchase in Olympos are locally produced. Who knows? Some of them may be. But on our most recent trip, the honey we bought was very generic - very unlike the "thyme" scented honey we were used to getting in our many years of visit. We are fairly... More >
Karpathos is a very quiet and pleasant island, with many beautiful beaches and very nice villages. The environment is very varied: sand beaches and cliffs, pinewoods and arid, sunburnt areas, organized beach resorts and wonderful little bays. Every taste is catered for: you can just swim and take... More >
Unfortunatly every single beach in the island is full with umbrellas and sunbeds. Of course this is not a nice view for people who admire that otherwise beautiful island. I have been many times in Karpathos but I am not going there again due to ugly environment of the beaches with umbrellas and... More >

A small apartment complex, just outside Pigadia (Karpathos city).
I was born on the island of Mauritius and my husband in Holland, we lived most of our live in South Africa, we have seen a lot of the world and Greece but this beats everything we ever stayed.
Small scale apartment complex run by... More >
Do not advertise much

I suggest travel guides not to advertise Karpathos too much because the island will lose this special beauty it has! For me this was a unique island!!! After the Cyclades that look very much to each other, Karpathos was a special experience. You will love it the moment you see it. Pigadia can be a... More >
I have been to Karpathos three times so far and maybe I go again in the future. This is a wonderful island and not that expensive as most Greek islands. It is a good value and services are really good. White Castle was our hotel for two summers and we were very satisfied. The villages of Karpahtos... More >
Saria, the small rocky islet close to Karpathos, is a beautiful excursion to take on Karpathos. There is a boat that goes from Pigadia to Saria many times a day. There you can see some old ruins and hike against the touch paths. Landscape on Saria is very difficult to hike, so better wear trainers,... More >
