On Karpathos Island

Transfer to the island's capital

Meeting with our guide at the airport of Karpathos.

Transfer to the capital of the island (the town of Pigadia) located on the southeast coast.

Accommodation at the hotel.

Dinner at one of the many tavernas overlooking the bay.

Overnight stay at the hotel.

Ascend to Kalilimni peak

Breakfast early in the morning.

Short transfer of a few kilometres to a point where the trek begins.

The route follows a small path that crosses the island from south to north. Around midday, we start the ascend to the highest peak on the slopes of Karpathos (Kalilimni - 1215 m). When we arrive at the summit we’ll have a stunning 360-degree panorama of the surrounding mountains and the sea.

In the afternoon we arrive at a small mountain village where we stop for dinner and overnight stay.

Towards Spoa and the "beach of dreams"

Breakfast at 08.00.

We continue along the narrow barely visible path hidden among the rocks and thorny bushes of limestone (typical vegetation of this climate). Before our eyes, just like a beautiful portrait, we will get an occasional glimpse of a small beach with crystal clear sea.

Shortly after noon we arrive at the village of Spoa. To avoid the 3-4 km descend on the asphalt, we take a small transfer and arrive at one of the most beautiful beaches, often defined as the “beach of dreams.”

Accommodation at the hotel. Dinner based on fish. Overnight stay.

The village of Olympos

Breakfast at 08.00 and transfer to Spoa.

We starts hiking through the mountains towards the village of Olympos (the capital of the folklore of the island). The path, usually used by goats left to roam free everywhere throughout the season, leads us high on the crest of the mountain giving us seascapes, one more beautiful than the other.

Arrival in the afternoon at the beautiful and quaint village of Olympos and accommodation into a family-run hotel. Olympos is a village that can not be described with words, one has to go and visit.

Dinner based on local specialties.

Overnight stay at the hotel.

Towards Diafani

Breakfast at 08.30.

We leave for Diafani. Today’s hike is the shortest (only 3-4 hours walk) and allows us to reach our destination around noon. Located on the sea coast, the town of Diafani offers visitors beautiful beaches, tasty food and equally good wine. It is the ideal place for a little relaxation.

Accommodation at the hotel. The afternoon is free to relax and swim in the sea.

Dinner based on fish.

Overnight stay.

The bay of the Gulf of Tristam

Breakfast at 08.00.

We walk along the sea and after approx. 4 hours we arrive at Tristram (the last inhabited village on the island).

The beautiful bay of the Gulf of Tristam is inhabited only by a family of elderly living in almost total isolation. They are updated on the date of the day only by the few tourists passing by case. The place is very nice, but the conditions in which it is only invite us to stay for 10-15 min.

We return to Diafani following the same trail and trying to arrive in time for a dip in the sea before dinner.

Sea and relaxation

Breakfast at 09.00.

Day dedicated to the sea and to relaxation.

Transfer in the afternoon on board of a boat and arriving at Pigadia.

Hotel accommodation, dinner and overnight stay.
