Karpathos is one of the Dodecanese islands between Crete and Rhodes. It has no beach parties, no casino, no water parks, no brand chains.
All its residents earn their living from tourism 5-4 months a year. The rest of the year they close the sea, and many of them move to Athens or family in the US or Canada, and spend the winter with Netflix. The road to the island is paved with turquoise bays, a mountain landscape of pine trees, pink trees, rosemary bushes and thyme bushes.
