Olympos By far the most interesting place to visit in Karpathos is the mountain village of Olympos (Όλυμπος). It is one of the most striking villages in the Aegean perched over a stark mountain ridge. It affords a wonderful view of the area. This remote village has retained its old charming architecture. It has many narrow winding streets, many with stairs. One of the streets has been spruced up and is lined with stores and restaurants for the tourists who are brought with tour busses from Diaphani. Many of the stores are tended by ladies in Karpathian costume who sell embroideries. They had several attractive designs and they are not too expensive — 7 to 10 euros.
