    Beautiful secluded beach that can be reached by bus or boat from Pigadia. There is only one restaurant that is very busy during lunchtime. The crystal clear sea makes it very well worth visiting. The view from the cliffs is great. One of the best beaches in Karpathos.

    Wide, quiet, relaxing. Well served by local tavernas (just order and they bring it directly to the beach). Often with rough seas that make it very 'Caribbean'. Interesting seabed

    Ahatat beach is beautiful. I would recommend to get there by boat. I am not afraid of driving in hills/mountains, small roads, but getting there by car was a bit tricky.

    The road is narrow and at some parts only one car fits while there is not always a barrier while it is very steep. And so it happened that I drove towards the beach and another car approached me, driving uphill which means they have priority. I found it quite scary, reversing on a steep hill without any barriers, knowing that a mistake could cause a serious problem. Next time I would go by motorbike or boat. But never again by car.

    Apella was easier and less scarier.

    We had a great day at this sandy beach with turquoise water! Great for kids as it is shallow. There is a beach bar/restaurant nearby and you can order food and drinks at reasonable prices! It cost 20€ for an umbrella and the young man from the Poseidon blue bar/restaurant was very friendly and polite! Would visit again!

    Lovely and spacious sandy beach with crystal clear water on which almost all days is windy. For us one of the nicest beaches in Karpathos especially because of waves which are ideal for playing with. Sunbeds for whole day - 15 euros.

    We visited this beach when we were children, when nothing existed and now as adults, when sunbeds and a small cafe above exist. Beach is very beautiful, scenery is fantastic with rocks and pebbles on the rocks. Clean water and windy, always fresh air.

    amazingly quiet, history, raw nature. We had a great guide telling us a lot about the history of the island. I found the trip by boat to long, but the swimming in the bay and through the small caves was a treat we wouldn't have missed.

    I think the beach is quite nice for snorkeling, especially if you visit the left side, away from Pigadia city/the harbour. The left side is where the beach has less rocks/more sand, and also less tourists, which is probably why there was more fish to watch. We saw zero lifeguards at our visits to the beach. We found that the water gets easier and easier to get into, the further to the left you go. But more than 50% of the beach has big rocks, so wear shoes, so you don't hurt yourself (I didn't, and therefore cut my foot pretty bad the second day). Along the beach you will find some companies/taverns with sunbeds for rent. The cheapest we found was 10€ per day, at the Maistrali Tavern. The most expensive ones we found was at Sardeles, with 15€ per day (both places had nice wooden sunbeds with matresses, and a side table).

    We went to visit menetes, a traditional village up on the mountain. We found a small parking lot in the middle of the village and over there a lady named Irini took us to a very interesting museum and a small church. She told us lots of stories about the history and the culture and it was very interesting!!! She wanted to tell us more but we didn’t have enough time… we will definitely come back again 🤗
