THE ISLAND

The Island

Our remote and beautiful island Karpathos is well endowed with nature. Shaded olive groves, forested mountains, jagged cliffs and hidden coves make walking an endless treasure hunt.

 

Walking and hiking is the best way to discover Karpathos, its fascinating history and incredible natural beauty.The best season to experience it is at Springtime where the mild weather and the rare wildflowers of the island are at their best.

Some of the antique footpaths that you will walk on have been trodden by Minoans, Mycenaeans, Dorians, Romans, Venetians, Pirates and Saracens and we also boast that we have the tallest mountain in the Dodecanese the majestic Lastos, Mount Kali Linmi 1,265 meters.

 

Surfing, windsurfing, kite surfing, hiking, rock climbing, mountain bike trips, guided tours, rent a bike. and scuba diving are an absolute must for the sports enthusiasts.
