Rose’s Studios

Karpathos


For ultrasimple, but good-value budget lodgings, it’s well worth trudging 300m up from the port to reach these eight dated, but functional, rooms. They have clean bathrooms, large sea-view balconies and decent fittings, including minimal kitchenettes. It's an extra €5 per day for air conditioning.
