Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    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.

    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).

    This beach is just wonderful And so beautiful. Mixed stone and sand. Gets deep very fast from shore but the kids where alright since we do snorkelling. Easy to find and you can drive there with an small car. One of our favourite.

    The road is a little dirty at the end but reach at with any car. The water is very clear and it is perfect for snorkeling.
    There are not a lot of people here and the sunbeds are for free.

    All in all, the perfect beach for me.
