Greek Islands- Karpathos

Greek Islands- Karpathos


Karpathos is a beautiful mountainous, the most southern Greek island, with longest summer. Lovers of surfing and kiting here will find an ideal place, where does not run out of wind for their pleasures. In many of the bays are beautiful beaches which call for enjoyment.
Short description
Island Karpathos is across the length of its mountainous and many places are difficult to access. Rich is the newer Greek culture, especially the village of Olympos. Residue from the Greek antiquity is not much, just here and there a small shrine.
What appears to Karpathos
The Church in the place Menetes, few kilometers from Pigadia, the capital of the island.
Poseidon’s cave near Pigadia
The village Olympos.
Many beautiful beaches on the south side of the island, which are accessible only by boat.
Authors' suggestion
The island is beautiful and interesting, otherwise, some places are more difficult to access.
To view the village of Olympos chooses rather the organized trip, as the independent visit by car.
Anyone who is a lover of good food must visit a restaurant under the oak on the north coast of the island. In the city Pigadia (Karpatos) has some very good restaurants.
View the church in a cave in the north of the island is a laborious undertaking, which does not leave a large impression, with the exception of fatigue after strenuous walking.
I recommend at least one boat trip to the beautiful beaches, which are accessible only by sea.

Greek Islands- Rhodes

Greek Islands- Rhodes


Rhodes is one of the most popular destinations in Greece. Its beautiful beaches, a rich historical past and the diverse nature make Rhodes famous and Lindos is a pearl in the crown.
Short description
Rhodes is the largest island in the group Dodecanese. It is situated near the Turkish coast. Rhodes is dynamic island, predominantly green, with many traditional villages, which supply the city with vegetables and fruit.
What you can see in Rhodes
Medieval center of town with the street from the Cruise period and the castle.
Seven sources (other than the beautiful nature there is nothing special).
Lindos is a mandatory objective of each visitor to Rhodes.
The valley of butterflies, is very interesting to see, as in the one place you can see thousands of butterflies.
To view the entire Rhodes you need at least 3 days with a car. Distances are great, so a scooter is not recommended except for short distances.
View Lindos, fortification of acropolis it is also mandatory.
The trip by car around the island can be beautiful.
In addition to certain residues of fortresses, which are quite a few on the top of the mountains, I recommend viewing Old-Greek city Kamiros and see acropolis near the town of Rhodes.
Visit the valley of butterflies is very interesting, while viewing the seven springs, the tension in my opinion.
For good food, visit small streets, where you'll find it nice and cheap restaurants.

Greece ... Dream holidays, especially at its beautiful islands.
What can you expect in Greece?
Beautiful beaches, friendly people, good food and a lot of historical testimonies.
Otherwise, the mainland of Greece, subject to a lot of historical sites is worth a visit, but a tourist destination is not as attractive as those on the islands. So, on a trip go to the mainland of Greece, on holiday with the cultural diversification go on the islands.
