Many people say Karpathos is actually two islands in one. Northern Karpathos is a ruggedly mountainous region, while the island's southern part is filled with as many olive groves and beautiful beaches as many better known Greek islands. No stay on this island would be complete without a visit to Olympos, where the stone houses and their residents' traditional customs have remained unchanged for centuries. The ruins of an ancient city called Potideon lie near Pigadia's modern port.
Karpathos is tied with the Crete community of Ierapetra as the Greek territory with the highest annual mean temperature. Perfect weather for the beach begins in May and lasts until October. Karpathos enjoys a dryer climate than other Dodecanese islands. The refreshing Karpathos summer breezes not only provide perfect windsurfing conditions, but keeps mosquitoes away from the beaches.
