Karpathos

Karpathos is a mountainous island in the Dodecanese archipelago. You will not find it among the best Greek islands. Because it won't offer you valuable ruins and museums on a large scale. Instead, you'll find colorful villages on the slopes of the mountains, phenomenal beaches in the shade of the cliffs, and scenic hiking trails. Karpathos is well known in sports circles. The strong wind blowing Meltemi is a challenge for surfers, and the natural climbing walls at some points on the island attract climbers who are hungry for thrills. There, everyone will find something that suits their tastes. Check what the island has in store for you!
