Pigadia (Karpathos Town)
Πηγάδια
The island's capital and main port, with cafés, seafood restaurants and tour agencies lining the seafront. It is the base for accommodation, car rental and boat trips.
Pigadia is Karpathos's capital and ferry port, spread along a curved bay. Cafés, seafood restaurants and travel agencies cluster along the seafront boulevard, and to the north stretches the long Vrondi Beach. Most visitors use it as a base, renting a car or taking a boat to the northern villages of Olympos and Diafani and to the beaches on the east coast. Boats leave the port daily for the north, and in summer there are day trips to Saria Island.
