Karpathos: Guided walking tour in Olympos village

The guide will meet you at the main entrance of the village and together, we will walk through the houses, and as a local, I know an alternative way to show you the architecture and explain to you the rich history of the village. After 30 minutes of easy walk, we will visit the main church of Olympos village which is dedicated to Virgin Maria. This church is the most important monument on the island because of its history and the valuable gold icons inside. Moreover, we will discuss all the unwritten rules of the society and how the local life change as time goes by. After the visit to the church, we will go to the west side of the village to see the numerous windmills & the remains of the old castle. We visit one which is still working and the owner will explain to us how it works. Later, we will visit a local wood oven to try some fresh bread, pies, and sweets. In the end, you will have free time for shopping!
