penod, dnn'l forgei to visìt )i;fani, the islard's seccnd pct aîci scrport of nauntarnous Clympos. Thìs place is ako cnarrCenzed by:erenìty and

tranquility wlth ihe erceptlonal dlfference cf the sea. Thc beacnes cf Karpathcs seem endless and they look like plciures from giossy tour ist guides' nages: Amoopì, Arkasa, Lelko: (bìg, sandy beachr:), Achata, Kato Lakos, Kyr; Panagìa, Apella (wlth pebbles and e rneraid waters), Agnlaopctarnos (fcr se; sporb), ard Diakoftr, (r,i,rth thìck sanc a.d cr),stai clear w;ters). Thcse who ljke aCventures can try theÌr luck going by boat to deseted Sana, an uninhabjted jsland wjth ruins of bulldìngs constru:ted by Saracen pì rates and be;ches where " nc human has ever set foct,,

ffiFC Itr{ T}"{K VStL&&€5 Olyrnpcs is nct the only beautìful village 1n Karpathos. you should vislt Aperì, the old capìtal of ihe island, with jts tradìiional, sìmple , whjle houses, bujlt in a gorge, the ccurtyards of Volada that are full of flowers, the houses by the sea at Finiki, the amazing church with the breathtaking vjew ai Meretes, as well as the ìgncred Mescchori. there, al lhe sqLrere 's tradil-icnal café, ycil can e njoy the ìsland's most beautjful sunset, but abo you can pay e !1sit to the monastery of panagia Vnssianr. i:cr a better vìew of Kyra Panagìa beach, you just have to go above the nronasiery of Fanagia lvlerlonitissa.
