Every season, we receive countless questions from people asking us if we know of any nice houses or plots for sale. The problem is, there hasn’t been a central platform or website to direct them to. So, especially for foreigners, it's difficult to find something 😩

That’s why we wanted to create a go-to place where you can easily browse available properties in one user-friendly space. If you’re Dutch, we’re talking about something like what we call ‘Funda.’ 🏠

At the moment, we only have a few available, but we’ll be adding new houses and plots regularly, so keep an eye on our website. 👀

And if you’re a private seller or real estate agent with house(s) or plot(s) for sale, send me a message! We’d happily add you to our website so more people know about it! 😊

We've heard for so many years that people find it hard to search for houses or plots to buy or rent on Karpathos since there isn't one place where it's all offered. Locals have also told us they get many questions from tourists about this, and they don't know where to guide them.

What does dinner cost on Karpathos? 🍔

This question is asked so much, yet hard to answer. I mean it really depends on what you eat. Of course a 3-course menu is more expensive then mezze. It also depends where you eat, (a typical Greek taverna in a small village is usually different then a restaurant thats at the boulevard in Pigadia) and if you enjoy an alcoholic drink with your food 🍷

But on Karpathos we’d say there is nothing too crazy high-end so you won’t turn up sitting somewhere with outrageous prices.

Vincent and I are not big eaters so we usually share a starter with a salad, share a main and have some wine and water. We usually pay around 35/40 euros when eating out. But some restaurants are more expensive (but the price/quality still good!!) and we will pay 50-70 🌴

Swipe to see some prices ➡️

Disclaimer: its gets more expensive everywhere, so don’t expect your holiday destination to stay the same. We noticed that most restaurants we visited so far this year only had an increase of 1-2 euros and most drinks haven’t even gone up at all. So please keep that in mind 🙏🌴

Let’s talk parking in Pigadia! 🚘

Somehow, there’s quite a bit of misinformation going around about the parking options in Pigadia this year 😅 The boulevard is closed from 7 PM, but the whole of Pigadia is still accessible by car. Somehow, this information is getting mixed up, because we’ve suddenly been receiving messages from people who heard that Pigadia is not accessible after 7 PM and are wondering how to get to their hotel if they return from the beach after that time 🫨

That’s not quite right haha! Pigadia is, in fact, accessible as usual. The only thing that’s closed in the evening is the boulevard (marked by the red line in the photo). From 7 PM to 1 AM, you can’t drive there. The exception is if you’re taking the boat, in which case you have no other choice. 🛥️

Additionally, there are various parking spots in Pigadia, and you can park in some of the streets if there’s a free spot of course.
