Karpathos Island

Home > Isole > Karpathos

The wonderful Karpathos island is located in the Dodecanese Archipelago, between the legendary Crete and the beautiful Rhodes island. It is the third largest island in the region and offers its visitors a perfect mix of wild nature, ancient traditions, history, and culture.

With its elongated shape, it is a paradise for hiking and trekking enthusiasts. Here, you can explore trails that lead to breathtaking views among its mountains, including the majestic peaks of Mount Kali Limni and Mount Lastos, which rise above the deep blue sea. The rugged terrain of Karpathos, with its steep cliffs and pristine beaches, provides an ideal retreat for those seeking a vacation filled with relaxation and nature.

Don’t miss the chance to visit the Olympos village, perched on a ridge to protect itself from raiders. Here, traditions are still alive: women wear traditional clothing, and the atmosphere evokes a time long past. And what about the beaches of Karpathos? A series of beautiful shorelines, one after another, with soft sand or small pebbles, where you can spend relaxing days recharging your energy.

Make sure you try the local cuisine. Savor the typical dishes, rich in Mediterranean flavors, and enjoy the warm hospitality of the locals. Food in Karpathos is still one of the simplest ways to share emotions and make new friends.
