Monthly Rentals in Saria Island

Beautifully located above the great beach of Kyra Panagia, the location is breathtaking! Beach within walking distance via a few steps. Large terrace, where you can enjoy the view and the sound of the sea in the evening! Very nice hosts, who were always easily accessible and very flexible with the arrival and departure times! Great starting point for exploring the entire island by rental car.

Karpathos is an authentic island, where tourism is just starting to arrive. We loved Diafani, the village where we were because there was only one supermarket and the rest were taverns. There was not a single souvenir shop and this for me is already a 10. The house was 2 minutes from the beach in the middle with very good views. A typical house of the island. We had a great time. Thank you for everything.

Maria's house was perfect for a 10 day stay, as we could drive throughout the island from that location. My Greek friend travelled from Chios to meet up with me, as she had always dreamed of visiting Olympos, a traditional village 39km further north up many winding, mountainous roads, but well worth a visit. We also had breakfast with the 90 year old neighbour who lives a short walk up the rough road and enjoyed quiet beaches around the island swimming in crystal clear, calm seas. The local mini market in Othos, a village down from Stes, was very useful, as we mainly cooked our own meals in the well equipped kitchen, (γίγαντες στο φούρνο, τραχανά, τουρουλουού, και πολλές σαλάτες κτλ) though we did enjoy fish soup, and the best ντολμαδάκια (domadakia) ever at Kyma in Pigadia, and delicious κατσίκι (goat) with super tasty onion and tomato stuffed aubergines in Olympos village. I also managed to paint three oil paintings on location, in the perfect 24-26 degree October sunshine.

Maria’s place, Olympos Blue, is perfectly situated, high on a ridge, just beneath the ancient windmills of the beautiful mountain village of Olympos. The views and sunsets are unparalleled and the evenings on the terrace tranquil and relaxing. Olympos Blue is very clean and well maintained with everything you need to enjoy a comfortable stay in the rugged north of Karpathos. Maria was always prompt to respond to any query and friendly and courteous in every communication. We very much enjoyed our stay in Karpathos and especially the beautiful village of Olympos. Olympos is a very special place and the outstanding hospitality of the locals and their dedication to preserving and sharing their unique culture and heritage is truly heartwarming. We will return. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us, dear Maria.
