The Greek island Karpathos Presented by Alessandro Sorbello Productions http://www.alessandrosorbello.com is the second largest island in the Dodekanese after Rhodes. It is situated between Crete and Rhodes, in the Karpathian Sea. The location of the island is strategic since it is the natural bridge
which unites Crete with Asia Minor. Part of Accommodation Greek Islands http://www.accommodationgreekislands.com

In aspect of geomorphology, Karpathos and Saria - the small island north of Karpathos - are two of the most gifted Greek islands. Calcareous rock beds define its morphological character. Over the rock beds of limestones lie more recent beds of stones such as plaster and others.

The variety of scenery of the island is unique. The transition from scenery to another and the changes of colours and shapes are frequent and unexpected and never make the visitor feel boredom or monotony. In contrary, high and steep mountains (Lastos, 1215 m. high the highest in the Dodekanese) compose unique scenery.

On the mountains one will see steep dingles, dashing streams, deep caves with stalactites, green valleys with crystal clear waters which spread their melody and breeze everywhere. Moreover, one can find himself in mountain sides, full of pinetrees which are spread allover reaching golden and sandy beaches.

The beaches of Karpathos are something the visitor cannot find in many islands of Greece: virgin beaches with crystal clear waters, with sand or tiny pebbles, which have remained untouched by human activity.

Variety, contrast and harmony compose fascinating scenery and an unforgettable destination. Rightly Karpathos is characterized as one of the most beautiful islands of Greece Karpathos Greece is one of the beautiful islands of the Dodecanese. Only the southern part of the Greek Island has been open to the slowly increasing tourism and has all the needed facilities for a pleasant holiday. The northern part of Karpathos is totally unspoiled and very authentic, with various traditional and picturesque villages. Apart from its lovely villages, Karpathos has many beautiful beaches and very friendly inhabitants.

Karpathos (Greek: Κάρπαθος) is the second largest of the Greek Dodecanese islands, in the southeastern Aegean Sea. The island is comprised of the municipality of Karpathos plus the community of Olympos. Part of Olympos also extends north to the neighboring Saria Island. The island has also been called Latin: Carpathus, Italian: Scarpanto, Turkish: Kerpe
