Saria Island & Palatia
Σαρία
An uninhabited small island across a narrow strait from the northern tip of Karpathos, with medieval stone house ruins by a bay. It can only be reached by boat.
Saria Island is separated from the northern tip of Karpathos by a narrow strait and is almost uninhabited. On the east coast, Palatia Bay preserves the ruins of stone houses with vaulted roofs from the Byzantine to medieval period. The bay is surrounded by barren hills where wild goats roam, and its clear water is good for swimming and snorkelling. In summer, day boats run from Diafani or Pigadia, with crossings of about 0.5 to 2 hours depending on the departure point. The island has no facilities, so bring your own water and food.
