Hi. We wanted to spend our holidays on small greek island without turists. And we succeeded.
Hotel is situated in the middle of the island in a small village Lefkos. It was close to travel across the island. Karpathos is very windy but Lefkos is covered by pines which protect from the wind. Blue Horizon is a very quiet place and you can walk 15minutes to the centre, minimarkets offer everything necessary. You can choose from many taverns. There are 5 beautiful beaches to reach.
You can find there car and motorbike rental. We rented a scooter to discover the whole island. Its so beautiful. Wild and surprising.
The hotel is situated on a calm place. We had a studio with very small but equipped kitchen and small bathroom...really enough for 2 people. We enjoyed our shaded terrace every day. Cleaning lady came every day and every 2 days we got new towels. Several times we even got new bed linen.
All the people we met were kind and friendly. Owner was very helpful. As we requested he picked up us from the airport and took us there last day too, although he was very busy. Otherwise you need taxi which is expensive.
For us Karpathos means sun, beaches, good meals, mountains, little villages, history, nature, good people, relax..and only few turists (compared to other islands). We enjoyed so much the whole time there. Thanks to Blue Horizon Studios, which I can really recommend.
Looking forward to visit you again, Karpathos!
