Everyday life in Karpathos

Far away from mainland Greece and the well-known tourist islands, in Karpathos and especially in the village Olymbos many traditions that have have largely been preserved. But how long it will stay that way is questionable. Life on the island is very tough and there are hardly any professional chances for the young people. That’s why many of them emigrate to Athens and you hardly see young people or children in the villages.
