Top Local Tips for Karpathos

Karpathos Suggestions Karpathos has evolved into a busy package tour destination for people from Holland, Scandinavia and Germany. It's no longer a peaceful island. Many restaurants have adapted dishes to suit the tastes of the visiting nationalities. In Pighadia you'll find the most authentic tavernas near the ferry quay but these can be expensive. The daily boat trip to Olympos is still worth doing but is not without disapointments - the famous remote village is now more of a theme park than a working village and the builders of concrete holiday hutches have moved in - go soon before it's completely vandalised.
