Karpathos

Karpathos is the perfect destination for those in search of something different and unique. A thin and curvy vertical strip of land set at the centre of the Southern Aegean, due to very challenging sailing conditions, Karpathos is completely cut out of the traditional tourist itineraries. The island is a real factory of wind, where according to the legend, dead calm has never appeared. A chain of mountains generates very powerful winds gusting down violently. Nevertheless, its long East coast offers several safe shelters such as the small port of Diafani, a tiny fishermen village, a real oasis of peacefulness and an easy bus ride from the mountain village of Olymbos where the time seems to have stopped. And also the lively main port of the island, Pigadhia, teeming with life at night as well as the Southern wind-swept bays, a real paradise for windsurfers. On the west coast of the island a fjord with a very small entrance, Tristomo, offers protection from all winds.

Topping the Northern tip of Karpathos, the small and uninhabited Saria boasts three wonderful bays on the East coast characterized by rocky columns and crystal clear water. On the land, you will be welcome by some bees and a donkey
