We had a really nice 10 days in Kira Panagia. The beach is fantastic, small stones and crystal clear water - perhaps the most beautiful beach on Karpathos. The small ‘town’ is charming with just a few restaurants and a mini-market (no ATM). Peaceful and totally quiet at night, just the sound of the waves.
Dimitris apartment is surprisingly spacious with three bedrooms, two large patios, and has all equipment you need for cooking (including oil, salt, oregano)! There’s three fans in the apartment but no air conditioner, so it can get a bit hot on the warmest days - but in a way this adds to an authentic vacation feeling :)
The view of the beach is as stunning as in the photos. There is three apartments in the house, built on top of each other so it has the private feeling of a single house. The beach is accessible in 5 mins via stone steps downhill, and there’s a hose for outdoor showers just around the corner of the house when you head back up, which we also loved! Be sure to visit Sofia’s Taverna for good food and authentic service!
