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.
