Agia Kyriaki walking tour from Karpathos

-What you can expect-
Start your day the Karpathian way: early, fresh, and full of light. Meet your guide at **8:30am** at the **Alpha Bank (old taxi station) in Pigadia**, and step out before the summer heat settles in.Within minutes, the town slips behind you and the path begins to climb—past **old stavlos** and **silvery olive fields**, with the **Aegean** glittering beside you. As you gain height, the view opens wider and wider, revealing Pigadia from above and the **southern villages** scattered along the coastline like small white brushstrokes.Your destination is the peaceful **Agia Kyriaki chapel**, usually open for a visit. It’s a perfect spot to pause in the shade, take in the scenery, and enjoy a quiet moment away from the bustle.From here, the walk continues through a **pine forest** where the air turns cooler and resin-scented. Between the trees, you’ll catch repeated “wow” views of the **eastern coast**—blue water, rugged hills, and Pigadia unfolding below.By late morning you’ll be back in town at around **11:30am**, with salty air in your lungs, photos on your phone, and that satisfying post-walk glow.
