The History of Karpathos
The history of Karpathos is lost in the midst of time until the mythological era,
much earlier than the time of Homer.
Karpathos was the crossroad of all the ancient civilizations which spread from East to West an vice versa.
Like a natural bridge between the three continents, Europe, Asia and Africa,
it was destined to become the theatre of cosmogony and play important role in the development of thought and intellect of nations.
The currents of civilisations and the movements of people in the Mediterranean basin took place on the soil of Karpathos.
Natural landscape - Karpathos
Vast and infinite crystal-clear beaches with sappire seas alternate with sheer and tall wild mountains.
The variation of landscape, from flat plains, valleys, hills and mountains, in some places green and elsewhere rocky, creates the most magical scenery and makes your holidays, from the simple rest to the wildest adventure, breathtaking.
Each turn and route brings a different landscape. The sweet sand is cut by abrupt rocks and deep waters.
Every step brings a new wonder, every place a new surprise.
