Arhontiko Finikes

Top choice in Karpathos


Clean, ultraspacious apartments with the most lovely view of the water. You can choose between contemporary decor or traditional Karpathian-style fit-outs, complete with a platform bed to sleep in, and wooden shelving on the walls (there's even willow pattern plates in some). There's no full-time reception; instead, the friendly Australian-Greek owners cater to your needs as required.

The owner, a former carpenter, did all the woodwork himself.
