Tour of Karpathos’ traditional villages with a sunset dinner
You'll find the pocket-sized island of Karpathos in the Aegean Sea, flanked by big brothers, Crete and Rhodes. And while Karpathos may not be as famous, its rural villages, traditional way of life and mythical heritage – it's said to have been home to the Titans – make it a fascinating island to get to know. Local guide Eleni, says, “There's a more relaxed and less commercial atmosphere on the island. We love sharing that with visitors, and this tour gives you an authentic slice of our little corner of Greece.”Leaving the capital of Pigadia, you'll take in views of the rugged coastline as you climb the green slopes of Mount Hamali, passing through villages like Aperi and Volanda. The close-knit community of just 265 residents will then welcome you to the highest village on the island, Othos. Houses here are arranged in tiers, like a white-washed amphitheatre, with panoramic views out over the Mediterranean. You'll visit a folklore museum and workshop gallery, brimming with handmade crafts, before heading to Pyles to tour an open-air agricultural museum.Then, it's on to your final stop, Mesochori. This is Eleni's favourite spot, as she explains, “It's like something out of a fairytale, with views of mountains that reach down to the sea, white windowsills overflowing with bright flowers and the Temple of the Virgin Mary, which is steeped in local legends of miracles.” Round off your day with an al fresco dinner at a traditional Greek taverna as you watch the sunset.

Karpathos east coast boat trip and Olympos village tour
Time-worn Olympos is the jewel in Karpathos' rugged crown. Perched atop a perilous mountain ridge, this hilltop hamlet is a living museum where locals still wear traditional embroidered costumes and ancient ways of life are still very much alive. Sophia, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Olympos is a land apart which existed more or less in isolation for so long that linguists come to study the dialect here, which has ancient roots. Even today, with visitors from all over the globe, locals guard their heritage fiercely. Traditional crafts, music and farming are all an important part of daily life here.' Setting off from Karpathos harbour, we'll cruise along the coast to the port town of Diafani, where a bus will be waiting to whisk you into the arid hills of the northwest to explore the hub of Greek culture and cuisine that is Olympos. Sophia says, ‘It might be small, but there's lots to see. Craft workshops, a museum, historic windmills and several tiny Orthodox churches are scattered through town. Don't miss the richly decorated Ekklisía Koimíseos tis Theotókou church.' After free time to explore the pastel-blue and beige alleys of Olympos and perhaps have some lunch, enjoy those dazzling views down to the sea one last time before the return transfer to Diafani. Here, you'll have some time to stroll the seaside promenade, watch the boats come and go as you relax with a drink in a bar or head to the beach for a dip. Next, it's back on board the boat for the return trip to Karpathos Town.
