A special destination that we recommend you put on your travel list immediately is Karpathos. In the southern Aegean Sea between Rhodes and Crete, the second largest island of the Dodecanese is located, with a rather "Dorian" character but at the same time hospitable.<\/p>\n

Rocky mountain peaks reaching 1200 m. and pine forests caressing the shores. Wild landscapes but also beautiful settlements. Here your vacations take on meaning and remind you of carefree, childhood summers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If the distance discourages you, we have good news for you as there is a flight connection from Athens with several offers (as long as you book your ticket in time). There is a ferry connection with Piraeus but be prepared for a long journey!<\/p>\n

A large part of the island is mountainous, so it would be a good idea to rent a car in order to visit the traditional villages located nearby. Pigadia-Chora<\/strong> (such as Aperi, Volada, Othos, Menetes, Pyles), the coastal settlements (such as Arkasa, Finiki, Lefkos and Diafani) and the famous Olympus<\/strong> at the northern tip of the island.<\/p>\n

If you are a fan of the traditional element, choose Aperi or Mesochori for your stay.<\/p>\n

Where will you swim?<\/u><\/strong><\/h6>\n

The island has a rich relief. Its eastern part is covered in pine trees and the beaches are large, with emerald and crystal clear waters. We recommend Achata, Kyra-Panagia and Apella which are organized and within close distance of each other.<\/p>\n

Agios Minas is located further north and offers you peace, relaxation and privacy as this particular beach is more difficult to access.<\/p>\n

To the west of the island the landscape changes and becomes exotic. Damatria, Diakoftis, Ai Thoros (Theodoros) and Lefkos will surely enchant you with their colors.<\/p>\n\r\n
