Hidden Gem of Greece: an incredible island that will conquer even the most demanding

This beautiful island has dozens of beaches.

Greece is not only popular with tourists in Mykonos or Santorini. This country is able to surprise with its hidden pearls, one of which is the island of Karpathos.

Express tells you about this amazing destination. This Greek island offers visitors a combination of unspoilt natural beauty, traditional villages and a rich cultural heritage. It is located in the southeastern part of the Aegean Sea between Crete and Rhodes.

While on Karpathos, it’s impossible not to fall in love with its beautiful beaches and whitewashed houses. But what makes it special is that this place has something to offer every tourist. There you can try everything from long walks to diving in the crystal clear waters.

“The stunning island has over 50 pristine beaches, many of which remain secluded and peaceful. The most popular among them are Apella Beach, known for its turquoise waters and lush nature, and Kira Panagia Beach, famous for its golden sand and iconic church with a red dome nearby.

You can also explore the surrounding villages. For example, the incomparable Olympos. This is a village with about 400 inhabitants. It is located 58 km northwest of Pygadia, the capital of Karpathos. The houses in Olympos are built amidst lush green forests. They still retain their traditional color and layout.

Karpathos is also suitable for those who like active recreation. There are excellent opportunities for windsurfing, especially in the Afiartes region.
