Areas drawn from our hotels' addresses — updated as the selection changes.
Pigadia (Karpathos Town)
Best for First-time visitorsThe island's main port and capital features a lively waterfront lined with tavernas and shops, alongside a long sandy beach. It serves as the primary hub for public transport and island exploration.
Ammoopi
Best for Beach loversLocated a short drive south of the capital, this quiet coastal area is known for its sheltered, crystal-clear coves and relaxed pace. It is ideal for swimming and snorkelling away from the busier port town.
Areas to consider
Staying in quieter coastal villages like Ammoopi without renting a vehicle can limit your dining options and make exploring the rest of the island difficult due to infrequent public transport.

How we chose these hotels
At our latest review (August 2026) the properties listed above were measured against the same standard: sustained guest scores on both Booking.com and Google — weighted by how many reviews sit behind them — five-star class or an equivalent premium level, a genuinely first-rate location, and facilities that set the hotel apart.
As a guideline we look for around 8.5 or higher on Booking.com, but no single number decides on its own — when the sources disagree, the broader evidence wins. Guest scores on this page update continuously, and the selection is re-reviewed at regular intervals. The full standard is described in how we choose hotels.
