Diafani is a picturesque village, with sparkling sea and quiet beach! We enjoyed swimming a lot! The apartment is just 5 min. Walk from the beach, but there is a big inclination, that might be a problem for elderly or people with disabilities! The photos looked better than the apartment was in fact! Needs a good renovation! We found the place not very clean, especially the bathroom and kitchen! All glasses and plates needed a good wash before any use! Besides, Mr.Nikos the father of John, that showed us the place was very nice and tried to help any time we asked for help.
Two essential advices from my side:
Don’t use motorcycle in Karpathos! With the height and very strong winds is useless! If you want to see around and not just to stay in diafani you’d better rent a car!!!
And be aware that the village or probably the whole island, suffers of lack of water, which means, July and August, at least, be prepared to remain without a shower for... days!...
