Karpathos is a true paradise for hikers, offering well-marked trails, lush landscapes, and routes for every level. Our 8-day trekking program allows you to explore the island’s mountains, traditional villages, historic sites, and stunning coastline while experiencing the authentic culture and lifestyle of northern Karpathos.

During this adventure, you will hike through scenic mountain villages including the historic Olympos, climb to Profitis Ilias for panoramic Aegean views, and traverse olive groves, pine forests, and verdant valleys. You’ll enjoy gentle beach hikes at Papa Minas, explore the ancient city of Vroukounta, and discover coastal villages like Tristomo and Steno. One of the highlights is a boat trip to uninhabited Saria Island, home to ancient ruins, pristine beaches, and protected flora and fauna.

Beyond trekking, we offer special programs such as spring botanical tours, traditional cooking classes, beekeeping, and autumn olive pressing, allowing you to immerse yourself in local traditions and seasonal experiences.
