The choice of accommodation is a key aspect of a successful holiday on Karpathos, an island in the Dodecanese that offers an extraordinary variety of accommodation. From traditional holiday homes to boutique hotels, family-run flats and scenic villas, the island caters for every type of traveller and budget.

The accommodation facilities on Karpathos are characterised by the preservation of traditional Greek architecture, characterised by white houses with blue shutters and wooden details that blend harmoniously into the natural landscape. Most accommodation is concentrated in the southern part of the island, where the climate is milder and services are more developed.

The offer ranges from inexpensive family-run guesthouses to luxury resorts with swimming pools and wellness centres. Many establishments retain an authentic character, offering the opportunity to come into direct contact with Greek hospitality and local culture, elements that distinguish Karpathos from the more touristy destinations of the Dodecanese.

The main accommodation areas provide easy connections to the island’s beautiful beaches and to other destinations in the archipelago, such as Rhodes and Kos, via ferries that operate during the summer season.

Pigadia

Pigadia (Karpathos Town), the capital and main port of the island, is an ideal choice for those wishing to stay in the nerve centre of Karpathos. The town offers the widest variety of accommodation, from modern hotels overlooking the harbour to flats in the old town, all easily accessible from the airport, which is only 13 kilometres away.

The town centre concentrates most of the essential services: restaurants, traditional taverns, shops, supermarkets and the liveliest nightlife on the island. Accommodation ranges from superior hotels with swimming pools and panoramic terraces to budget studios perfect for independent travellers wishing to explore the island on their own.

The long sandy beach bordering the town is an added bonus for those who choose Pigadia as their base. Boat excursions to the more remote beaches and boat connections to other Dodecanese islands depart from here. The central location also facilitates travel to all the attractions of the southern island.
