Karpathos
Located between Crete and Rhodes, in the heart of the Dodecanese archipelago, it is another of the islands to see in Greece.
Karpathos is one of the unknown islands in the country, making it one of the places to visit in Greece if you are looking for tranquility, nature, and peace.
It is a mountainous island that must be traveled by car to discover every corner of it. Although there are beautiful and deserted beaches – some of which don’t even have names – the authentic charm of Karpathos lies in its two sets of small towns, called Catajoriá and Panojoría. Colada, Piles, Ozols, and Apero stand out in the first group, typical white houses, and quiet life.
Stoppages
This small island in the Cyclades has almost 120 km of quiet beaches where you can enjoy its many sunny days.
The central city and port that the ferry arrives at are Parikia. It is another typical Greek coastal town, with low whitewashed houses and narrow streets where life runs slowly.
It is worth hiring a buggy and exploring the mountainous area of the island in an original and fun way. It is also almost obligatory to visit the islands of Antiparos and Despotic – which are part of Paros -, the towns of Costo, Piso Livadi, Marmara, and Lefkes, the old marble quarries in the Marathi area, and the beaches of Drios, Marcello Beach, Kolymbithres and Monasthi.
