2014-07 - mountain hike in Karpathos, Greece

There are many beautiful hiking routes in Karpathos. Among the villages you can find many footpaths, which are often marked by signs or red dots painted on rocks.
I took the bus from Pigadia passing through small villages up to the mountain village of Othos at 520 meters elevation down to Pigadia (Karpathos city) at the coast. I walked through the village and had to ask the way to the first marker sign. Thereafter it was all downhill back to Pigadia. Very warm and dusty, but worth it. It took me several hours.
