Beaches

Whether you’re looking for relaxed, sandy beaches or adventurous, rocky coasts, Karpathos will not disappoint. The island is famous for its crystal-clear emerald waters and unspoiled terrain that make it the ultimate destination for beach lovers. Think swimming in serene, pool-like waters or snorkelling around caves and coral reefs and exploring the colourful seabed. Apella, Achata and Kyra Panagia are among the busiest and most famous beaches, yet calmer options such as Agios Nikolaos, Lefkos and Amoopi are equally worth a visit. Don’t miss the striking light-blue waters and pink sand of Diakoftis.
