Places to visit |
Pigadia |
Pigadia is the capital of Karpathos, and most tourists are staying here as well. Here you can find supermarkets, bakeries, clothingshops, touristshops and a lot of restaurants. In the evenings it's nice to sit on a terrace of one of the cafe's and watch the other tourists and Greek people passing by. In the morning a few cafe's offers breakfast. Most hotels are situated along the mainroad which goes to Aperi, the next village. Only a few hotels are in the centre. |
Othos |
Othos is a nice small mountain village with a nice view on Pigadia. Here you can find a few taverna's where you can eat |
very well. So if you don't want to eat in one of the restaurants in Pigadia, go to one of those restaurants and taste the real Greek food. In Othos you can also find a real Karpathian House, now those days nobody lives there anymore, but the owner made a museum of it. He also owns a small painting gallery. Here he shows his own paintings about the way of living on Karpathos. When you go to Othos, make sure you visit the house and the gallery, it's nice to see... |

Pyles is a nice place where you can see a lot of beautiful flowers, tree's and when the sky is clear you can see the island of Kassos. Pyles has a nice church build by the source. This source is also the reason why Pyles is so green comparing to the other villages. Just drive to Pyles and take a look in this small but nice village. |

Volada |
When you're in Pigadia and it's evening you can't see Volada, it's situated behind a mountaintop, but it's a visit worth. Just like Othos you can have here |
a great dinner, and it is also a nice village for "just walking around and look at the nice houses". On the road to Volada you'll also pass by a point where you can make beautiful photo's. This because you can see Pigadia, Aperi and Volada. |
Finiki used to be in the past one of the mainports from Karpathos. Now it's a small fisherman's village, and only the fisherman's use this port. If you like eating seafood, go to Finiki. It has a few very good restaurant for seafoodlover's. Near the port the people build a small statue. It's a small one but very nice build. |

Aperi was the old capital of Karpathos, and is still the seat of the archbishop. Many of the people from Aperi lives in the USA, and come back here for the summermonths. In the curch of the archbishop is also an icon of Maria. It's a rich curch wich is very nice to visit. Just before you enter the village of Aperi, you can take a steep unpaved road to the beach of Achata. When you leave Aperi and you follow the road to the right you can take the unpaved road to the beach of Kyra Panagia. When you're in Pigadia during the evening, the first lights you see on the mountains is Aperi |
