Karpathos - A Windy Greek Island
Posted On Sunday, September 9, 1990 at at 12:53 AM by AlvinWe had always loved Greece for the blue blue seas and sky and the wonderful foods and peoples. This was only our second time in this country and the direct flight from Gatwick made this island an ideal quick getaway, without the need to pass through Athens.
We spent our time sitting at timeless cafes by the fishing port of Diafani, walked around the villages of Olympos where we bumped into a traditional festival where the Olympos locals celebrated in their traditional colorful dresses. We also hiked to a little no-man beach off Diafani for a bit of "skinny dipping" to cool off from the September sun. Refreshing !
