Karpathos

Karpathos occupies a sheltered bay on the southeastern coast of Karpathos Island in the southeastern Aegean. Also known as Pigadia, it is the island’s principal port and administrative centre, facing the Karpathian Sea between Crete and Rhodes. The town rises from its waterfront into low hills, while the island’s interior becomes rugged and mountainous, shaped by strong winds and a long pastoral tradition. Karpathos is closely associated with Olympos, a northern mountain village where local music, dress and customs remain a visible part of community life.
