Wind serfing
Come to Karpathos in summer and you will find everything your windsurfer's heart could possibly desire. This long narrow island juts out between Rhodes and Crete.
The meltemi blows full force from the north down through the high mountains, with high-wind days being virtually an everyday occurrence in July and August. Karpathos enjoys steady winds even in spring and autumn, making it an ideal spot for novices and those who wish to improve their surfing skills. But advanced surfers, too, can rely on getting a really good run for their money. It is simply a wind addicts' paradise!
Diving
The particularly clean Karpathian sea and the huge wealth of the deep are a pole of attraction for visitors wishing to benefit from the magic of underwater exploration. A diving school operates in the Island under special license of the Greek Ministry.
