Highly recommend visiting Karpathos and staying in the Finiki Villas! The location is excellent—the small town of Finiki is lovely, and the quiet, beautiful beach is an easy 2 minute walk down the hill from the villas. You’ll have a great view of the sea, and eat delicious meals in town. Maria was an excellent and incredibly hospitable host. We had not planned on renting a car (our mistake!), and Maria not only encouraged it, but also arranged it for us. She was absolutely right! Be prepared to drive along some mountain roads, but the somewhat scary drives are well worth it to see beautiful beaches and towns on Karpathos. Don’t miss Apella Beach or Olympos! When you’re back in Finiki, take a short walk from the villas to taverne kedros for dinner—you won’t be disappointed by a single item on their menu! We will definitely come back to this town and stay with George and Maria!
