10Olympos, Karpathos

Perched high in the mountains of Karpathos, Olympos feels frozen in time. Traditional windmills still dot the landscape, and women in colorful local dress bake bread in outdoor ovens. During summer, busloads of visitors arrive for a quick photo stop, but in quieter months, Olympos reveals its soul. You’ll hear the hum of dialects unique to the island, taste homemade cheeses, and enjoy sweeping Aegean views without interruptions.
