Karpathos has ten villages that follow the road network and form two “circles” on the map around the island. Starting the short route from the capital of Karpathos and the town of Pigadia, visitors follow the road to the east coast of the island and up to the village of Aperios which was the former capital of the island. Follow the route that passes by the three mountain villages of Volada, Othos and Pyles until the road starts to descend leading to the west coast of Karpathos. To complete the route visitors follow the road to the village of Arkasa and continue to Menetes high up until they return back to Pigadia.

For the longer route after reaching the village of Aperios and again instead of turning left towards the village of Volados, visitors follow the road to the northern part of the island. After a magnificent route, visitors will reach the small village of Spoa with its many windmills. At this point the road leads to the famous village of Olympus. After a long route, visitors return to Spoa and after passing the small village they head towards the western part of the island and the village of Messochori. After Mesochori follow the main road to reach Arkasa, Menetes and returns again to Pigadia.
