My travel guide to Karpathos Island in Greece, a true gem. • Have you heard of Karpathos Island? I hadn't when I picked up a map of Greece, closed my eyes, placed my finger on the map, and picked out Karpathos Island. But I made a promise to myself: wherever I picked, I would visit, so I did. • The time of year is essential here, as I travel to Karpathos in December, so we are in the off-season. Trying to pick a Greek Island can be overwhelming. We all hear about the favourites, such as Santorini and Mykonos, but where is Karpathos, and what is it like? • Fear not; my video will answer some of your questions. I fly over using Sky Express from Athens and land at 20 degrees, with sunshine, no tourists and as quiet as it gets. In this episode, Christmas is around the corner, but given the weather, you wouldn't think it. • Situated in the Aegean Sea between Rhodes and Crete, this little gem skips the limelight of most tourists. But my word, people are missing out. I rent a car for my duration, book an Airbnb in Pigadia (the island's main settlement) and explore the island. • To help me on this trip, I used a website called https://thekarpathosguide.com/en/ and you can follow them on Instagram - / thekarpathosguide • They have a superb guide for the island. The site's owners and authors, Athina and Vincent, agreed to an interview while I was there. Vincent made me a great coffee, and we talked for an hour about Karpathos. Please check out their guide below, their website for more tips, and our episode. • This video is for you if you want an excellent 16-minute snapshot of the island. I check out Pigadia, Olympos, Frangolimiano Beach, Kasos Island, and Ammopi. The flight to Kasos from Karpathos is only five minutes, one of the shortest flights in the world. I also nearly got stuck on Kasos. • There was not one tourist but lots of amazing locals, and I became the token tourist in town. They chatted with me as I drank their coffee, ate their food, enjoyed their beers, and participated in chatter. • This island is one of a kind. Thanks Karpathos Island! I will be back! • Chapters: • 00:00 Introduction • 01:10 Journey to Karpathos Island • 02:26 Checking out Pigadia • 05:00 Church St Zacharia • 05:52 Road trip to Olympos • 07:15 Olympos • 10:00 Frangolimiano Beach • 10:58 Interview with the Karpathos Guide • 11:56 5-minute flight to Kasos Island • 12:37 Checking out Kasos Island • 15:10 Was Karpathos Island worth visiting? • 15:53 Outro • Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast... • Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/episode/446Q... • Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): • https://uppbeat.io/t/mountaineer/thro... • License code: 936G5QL5WRKHQ9B1 • Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): • https://uppbeat.io/t/sensho/count-on-you • License code: UB2XWTIZA19DTK8S • ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- • Patreon Shout-Out • Thanks to Laura Hammond for supporting this podcast on Patreon • You can support, too, by signing up here - / wingingittravelpodcast • Winging It Travel Podcast Credits • Host/Creator/Writer/Composer/Editor/Producer - James Hammond • Podcast Art Design - Swamp Soup Company - Harry Utton • Contact me - [email protected] • Website - wingingittravelpodcast.com • Social Media - follow me on: • Instagram - / wingingittravelpodcast • TikTok - / wingingittravelpodcast • Facebook - / jameshammondtravel • Buy Me A Coffee - https://www.buymeacoffee.com/wingingit • ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- • Support This Channel - click the links below to book your travel TODAY! • Order Your Revolut Card Today - https://revolut.com/referral/?referra... • Get Your E-Sim With Airalo - https://airalo.tp.st/4OEAn2ka • Book Hostels With Hostelworld - https://hostelworld.tp.st/fYOrWHy3 • Booking.com - https://booking.tp.st/bM18anPX • Book Experiences With Viator - https://viator.tp.st/VAODlwxm • Discovery Car Hire - https://www.discovercars.com/?a_aid=J... • Book Buses With Busbud - https://busbud.tp.st/n3qpfCf9 • Book Trains With Trainline - https://trainline.tp.st/XakLceTu • Travel Insurance with SafetyWing - https://safetywing.com?referenceID=wingingittravelpodcast utm_source=wingingittravelpodcast utm_medium=Ambassador • Book Flights With Expedia Canada - https://prf.hn/click/camref:1100lqfY7... • Book Hotels With Agoda - https://agoda.tp.st/4KSaDxHc • Book Hotels With Trivago - https://trivago.tp.st/tWLkGcGe • Book Accommodation With Vrbo - https://vrbo.tp.st/Uqx0Afs3 • Booking Events With Ticketmaster - https://ticketmaster.tp.st/LOyHs1oQ • Merch Store - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/wing...
