These are a few of our favorite things...
One of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Spend a day in the idyllic setting of the sea surrounded by the forest.
A hidden gem off the beaten path. A bit of a hike, but well worth it. A beautiful and peaceful secret paradise.
A bounty of the freshest seafood from the Aegean! Shrimp, Calamari, and Mussels served over perfectly cooked spaghetti. Heaven on a plate!
We love the island goats so much we named our villas after them. Quirky and fun…you never know when you are going to come across a herd.
What a better way to end the day at any of the beautiful beaches of the island than visiting the beachfront tavernas for some mezze and ouzo!
The island has many ancient sites to explore like the Cave Church of St Luke, the Acropolis of Arkasa, or the Ruins of Agia Fotini dating back to the 5th century. Take time to explore the history of the island.
A village rich with tradition, as if you have stepped back in time upon arrival. Spend time with the small boutique owners as they have great stories.
A peasant dish of homemade pasta hand rolled into little bites of deliciousness with sautéed onion and grated myzithra cheese. You will fall in love with this island specialty!
Slow cooked Goat with potatoes is a dish of perfection on the island. Succulent, tender, and tasty!
All around the most perfect mezze! Delectable drizzled with Olive Oil and Lemon.
Every color of blue can be found in the waters surrounding Karpathos. The waters of the Aegean are some of the cleanest in the world. Take a dip and enjoy!
When the sun is setting on the west side of the island, the sky is painted with magnificent shades of golden yellows and oranges…a sight to behold!
The landscape is dotted with quaint churches of the villages. Take time to visit as many leave the doors open for visitors.
The bustling capital of the island. The town really comes to life in the evening with locals and visitors alike. Take a stroll and you find some unique shops, endless choices for dinner and some quaint little bars for a drink afterwards. This is the perfect place for a night on the town.
The churches on the island have very impressive sanctuaries you can visit, say a prayer, or light a candle for someone. As always, please be respectful of the sanctuary and its treasures.
How can you make calamari any more delicious? Stuff it of course with fresh herbs, rice and cheese!
A quaint fisherman’s village with a small calm beach. Early in the morning you can witness the fishermen coming in from the night and selling the bounty to the local tavernas.
Visit the island in the spring to witness the colorful flowers growing all along the mountainside. Wild herbs and greens are in abundance as well.
These are just a few of the villages, beaches, sites, and tastes we enjoy when we are out and about around Karpathos. There are many more to enjoy and appreciate. We can always provide you with information about the island and we look forward to hearing about your travels around Karpathos.
