The Ancient Sacred Istia motivated me to search for the history of the island. Karpathos according to Homer or Tetrapolis or Anemoessa or Scarpanto according to the Latins and the Francolevantines is the island where the myths of Proteus, Athena and Prometheus meet the history of the Minoans, the Athenians, the Rhodians and many conquerors from modern history.

I do not know exactly what everyone has in mind regarding the holidays. Whatever it is, ISTIA LUXURY VILLAS covers it 100%! Unique location, great views, excellent aesthetics, crystal clear services, incredible peace and quiet, very friendly mood, many options for various activities, very close to all the hot spots of the island and a constant feeling that “this-is-that-always- I was asking to live on a Greek island!

Karpathos was not one of my first choices to visit. To be honest, it never crossed my mind that I would ever visit her.

I first came to Karpathos in winter and stayed a week staying in a friendly house. It was an experience that will be unforgettable as I happened in intense weather, but the beauty of the island was unique even in December.
