The apartment is in a really great, central location, but the bedroom at the back is very quiet despite the busy pedestrianized street at the front. You get the best of both worlds: you can people watch sitting on the balcony while having breakfast or an aperitif, but you get the tranquillity of a secluded bedroom when it comes to sleeping. The apartment is right next to everything you need in Karpathos: a supermarket, a taxi rank, inexpensive eateries and a bakery, more up-market restaurants heading towards the sea (a few steps away), and of course the port (very close). The town beach is about 10-15 minutes' walk away. The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed. Captain Elias met us and gave a great introduction to the apartment and amenities. There were lots of thoughtful details, including bottles of fresh water to start us off (tap water is quite salty on Karpathos). We had a really great stay and would thoroughly recommend this apartment!
