Summary:
I really can’t recommend Art and Walk enough if you want to do a hike in Karpathos! We joined both the Lastos hike and Agia Kyriaki walk with Renate and had a great time. Renate is great company and so knowledgeable and passionate about the island. Got to see a lot of goats and other animals too in addition to amazing views.

Summary:
We were collected by our guided in Pigadia(recommended) as the starting point can take some time to find if you are new on the Island. Our guide Thom is from Sweden but has lived in the mountain with his wife in Karpathos in many years where they have explored the mountain area, the nature ( flowers, animals and vegetations) and have collected a lot of enlightening stories of the surrounding mountain area including the history of the Island. The views are breath taking, the colors and smells from spices blend into the demanding walk some places on the rim to the sky and the endless space. Thom will deliver stories and knowledge from this remote paradise. Just ‘hit the road’ and find the hidden sleeping ‘Stone Giant’
