What to do and see in Karpathos, South Aegean: The Best Hidden Gems Things to do

March 14, 2022 Kandra Bartel

Karpathos (Greek: Κάρπαθος, Greek pronunciation: [ˈkarpaθos]) is the second largest of the Greek Dodecanese islands, in the southeastern Aegean Sea. Together with the neighboring smaller Saria Island it forms the municipality of Karpathos, which is part of the Karpathos regional unit. Because of its remote location, Karpathos has preserved many peculiarities of dress, customs and dialect, the last resembling those of Crete and Cyprus. The island has also been called Carpathus in Latin, Scarpanto in Italian and Kerpe in Turkish.

Reviewed By ba_sophia - Athens, Greece

Skala is a wonderful and cozy place to visit. It has a wonderful view of amoopi and you can enjoy amazing smoothies, milkshakes and cocktails. There is also a wonderful small menu. We went with my boyfriend the first day of our visit in Karpathos and it was a must the following days. Tom, the owner, is a really kind and friendly man that made us feel like family. Skala is a must when you come to Karpathos! Ouzo and cocconut/cookies milkshake and coffee are wonderful! It is a place made by its owner with love and respect to the island of Karpathos!

Diakoftis Beach

Reviewed By koseyg

Located behind the airport, a sandy beach with blue clear water. Very windy but water is not deep for a lot of meters. Organised with umbrellas and a new tavern. Ideal for people who like to visit corners on the island, people who like wind and adventure.

Saria Island

Reviewed By OnAir44396786555 - Murska Sobota, Slovenia

We went there with Vasilis from Balaskas hotel. This was a day which we won’t forget for the rest of our life. Vasilis is unique, 70+ years old living book, local, lovely man who is always ready to share his life experiences and Karpathos stories with you. Saria is quiet, peaceful island, with rich history, there living animals and few great bays. It is a 8+ hours long trip but sadly time goes by really quickly while sitting in a boat, staring in the blue sea with sorounded islands and listening to Vasilis’s singing. Trip also includes swimming in the caves and swimming in 2 bays. You can also choose boat trip with hiking on Saria.
