Tradition still lives on..........
Karpathos is the third largest island in the Dodecanese and lies halfway between Rhodes and Crete.
A long, thin island with beautiful contrasts in scenery. The north of the island is mountainous whereas the south is lower lying and so it is here where the airport is and most people stay.
Pighadia is the capital and offers all of the facilities you could need – tavernas, bars, shops, ATM etc. Just north of the town is Vrondi, a 3km stretch of golden sand.
Pighadia is also where the excursion boats leave on a daily basis to take you to the north of the island.
There are several stops but the best trip is to stay on the boat to the village of Diafni, where buses will take you to the famous mountain village of Olymbos, where they speak an ancient dialect and wear traditional dress.
Karpathos benefits from a fresh breeze in the summer months and if you are lucky you may be there when the Kitesurfing World Championships are on.
Please be aware that due to ferry and flight timings, a stay overnight in Athens or Rhodes may be required in either direction.

The team have booked three very different holidays for me, two for a couple and one for a group of nine. They listened to our requirements and used their expert knowledge of Greece to provide us with several options from which to choose. I found them to be very professional, nothing is too much trouble and they strive to find a good deal. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

The business has booked me a few different holidays ranging from 2 weeks away in the sun to City Breaks. They have a great knowledge and understanding of your needs and requirements when booking a holiday. They always try to accommodate your budget and work extremely hard to get you what you're asking for. They have an extremely good knowledge of the Greek Islands and never fail when recommending specific places. I would always recommend the team as they are helpful and professional at all times.
