Diafani is a small fishing village set in a wild landscape in
North Karpathos. The locals are extremely hospitable, our
beaches are clean and the sea is crystal clear. There are several
nice restaurants in the village, with reasonable prices, where you
can eat fresh fish every day. You may even share a table with the
fisherman. We are happy that many visitors return to us year after
year and are sure that, if you want, you will find a good companion.
There is very little traffic in the village making it ideal
for walkers or for families with children.
The hotel is situated at the beginning of the footpath to Olymbos. We
have a small boat and Captain Vassillis will be happy to take you to
secluded beaches. If you are lucky you will see dolphins or even the
rare Monk seals. Most days you can see Bonnelli's eagles and Elanora
falcons and in the spring and autumn bee eaters,
kingfishers and golden orioles. In spring time our landscape is carpeted
with flowers.
Ferry boats from Rhodes and Piraeus arrive in Diafani twice a
week. There is a daily caique schedule every morning at 8.30 from Pigadia and
four times a week there is another caique schedule in the afternoon.
Whichever trail you follow, you will experience a unique new magical world.
Dear visitor, this land and its people will love you and offer you hospitality and a journey to a dream. They deserve your love, since the more you get to know our place the more it becomes yours too...
