The true pearl of the stunning Greek Dodecanese islands. Only five hours away from Rhodes by ferry or a one hour flight from Athens.<\/p>\n<p>Are you planning your holidays for next summer? Here are the reasons why you should visit Karpathos!<\/p>\n<h2>10 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD VISIT KARPATHOS<\/h2>\n<h3>1. You can feel like a pirate.<\/h3>\n<p>Have you ever heard about the small island of Saria (in modern Greek \u03a3\u03b1\u03c1\u03af\u03b1)? It is a rocky, volcanic island on the northern side of Karpathos. With only a couple of Shepherds living in Saria it is still said to be an uninhabited island. It is the place to be for some adventure! The rough terrain is ideal for hiking and even though it has little flora and fauna the view everywhere is amazing. You can find steep cliffs, underwater caves that serve as excellent shelters to the Monachus Monachus seal and the ruins of an ancient city on top of the rock formations. All which make the island quite appealing. You can hike to the highest peak of Saria, Pachy Vouno, with an altitude of 631m and enjoy the stunning view.<\/p>\n<p>The Saracen pirates once turned the ancient palaces of Doric Nisyros (one of the four cities in Karpathos) into small arched houses. In 1420 almost all island residents abandoned Saria because of constant pirate attacks.<\/p>\n<p>If you go to Saria also try to visit its most beautiful beach. The beach of Alimounda is considered one of the most pretty beaches in the surroundings of Karpathos where you can go swimming and spot some sea stars.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_3750.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4129\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"normal alignnone size-full wp-image-4129\" src=\"http:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_3750.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_3750.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_3750-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_3750-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_3750-740x493.jpg 740w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>2. The Aegean waters have plenty of secrets for divers to reveal<\/h3>\n<p>With the Karpathos Diving Center you can explore all the beautiful dive spots in the warm waters of Karpathos and even discover new dive spots. In the summer of \u201915 Karpathos Diving Center discovered a ship wreck between Karpathos and Kassos!<\/p>\n<p>Karpathos has dive spots for deep dives, ship wreck dives, cave dives and more! All with about 20m visibility due to the crystal clear water. The friendly staff of the dive center will make sure you get the best experience you can get in the Aegean sea, so just walk in once you\u2019re in Pigadia and schedule your dive.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4132\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"width:960px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/11354944_10206178625320610_24399193_n.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4132\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"normal size-full wp-image-4132\" src=\"http:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/11354944_10206178625320610_24399193_n.jpg\" alt=\"Picture by Michalis Reissis\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/11354944_10206178625320610_24399193_n.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/11354944_10206178625320610_24399193_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/11354944_10206178625320610_24399193_n-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/11354944_10206178625320610_24399193_n-740x555.jpg 740w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text caption-normal\"><span>Picture by Michalis Reissis<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<h3>3. It is still traditional<\/h3>\n<p>When you visit the villages you will still meet surprised locals who want to know who\u2019s visiting their home. The locals still live the way the did many years ago and did not change for tourism. A nice example is the bread baking in the north of Karpathos, which still happens in the public ovens on the street. Just look at the way the local ladies are dresses and you\u2019ll be amazed to see them wearing the traditional clothing anywhere they go.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_3689.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4136\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"normal alignnone size-full wp-image-4136\" src=\"http:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_3689.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_3689.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_3689-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_3689-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_3689-740x493.jpg 740w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>4. The hiker trails lead you to amazing spots<\/h3>\n<p>High mountains and deep valleys and a great view in all directions. Karpathos has a giant network of hiking trails and you can be sure to be one of the few people in this world who has walked them. Up in the North of Karpathos you can even find a Pilgrimage route that leads to the ancient city of Vrougounda.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re in Karpathos and want to do a guided hike instead of walking on your own then you should consider going with Art &amp; Walk. Owned and managed by an artistic Dutch lady who fell in love with the island and made this inspirational island her home.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_4275.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4139\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"normal alignnone size-full wp-image-4139\" src=\"http:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_4275.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_4275.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_4275-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_4275-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_4275-740x493.jpg 740w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>5. It\u2019s a place for food-lovers<\/h3>\n<p>Tzaziki, moussaka, keftedes, you name it. Every meal is a feast on Karpathos. Visit the local taverns with their wooden chairs owned by nice families and order Greek food to be amazed. You can enjoy the local dishes in the city of Pigadia at the waterfront, but you can also explore the alleys to find the restaurants the locals go to. A visit to the isolated town of Olympos is more than worth it as they have dishes that originate from this town, such as Makarounes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/11542081_850446561699211_1385551973709505955_n.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4133\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"normal alignnone size-full wp-image-4133\" src=\"http:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/11542081_850446561699211_1385551973709505955_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/11542081_850446561699211_1385551973709505955_n.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/11542081_850446561699211_1385551973709505955_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/11542081_850446561699211_1385551973709505955_n-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/11542081_850446561699211_1385551973709505955_n-740x555.jpg 740w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>6.

In Pigadia town you have cozy bars with view at sea like Anoi and there are even some discotheques if you want to party till the sun goes up.

The beaches exist mostly of small pebbles on the east side and sandy beaches on the west side.<\/p>\n<p>You can even find yourself a private beach for the day as there are plenty of beaches. Some have beautiful rock formations surrounding the beach which give you quite some privacy if you\u2019d like to go for a skinny dip.<\/p>\n<p>Everywhere you go the warm water is crystal clear.

The weather is splendid!<\/h3>\n<p>The summer season in Karpathos starts in April, when the sea water is starting to heat up and the sun is already tanning your skin. The flower-fields are beautiful and last until the end of May as that\u2019s when it\u2019s getting hotter and Karpathos becomes a very dry island. The Karpatheon people like September best for its weather and another reason to love visiting Karpathos in September is that it\u2019s more quiet on the island with less tourists due to school holidays. The island is actually great all year round and you almost never see a drop of rain.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_3678.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4135\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"normal alignnone size-full wp-image-4135\" src=\"http:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_3678.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_3678.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_3678-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_3678-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.karpathiaki.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_3678-740x493.jpg 740w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>9.

The Greek atmosphere is not destroyed by tourists<\/h3>\n<p>As continuation of point 3 on this list you should know that Karpathos doesn\u2019t only remain authentic but it is also not touristy yet. You get the real Greek feeling when you\u2019re exploring the island as it is not destroyed by tourists. The local atmosphere remains, also at those places where you\u2019d expect things to be turned into some touristic attraction. Local villages still really are local villages, meaning people live there. Their daily routines haven\u2019t changed. When you set foot in one of the mountain villages during siesta time you\u2019ll have the entire town to yourself.
