I have seen a beautiful Island, perfect for windsurfing and other kind of sports. I´m an enthusiastic rock climber and I have also seen many nice walls. But in the opposite to Kalymnos there are no fixed climbing routs. I returned in summer, and so since summer 2005 there are some climbing possibilities on Karpathos. Now it´s October 2010 and Ii write the new version of the guide. A lot of climbing routes in nice different spots are now on Karpathos, enough for a week of climbing. Many climbers came to Karpathos and I heard only good feedback. In Summer 2010 I developed a internet site, www.karpathos-climbing.com. Likely you had the guide from there. At this site there is also an forum, the Karpathos Climbing Forum. This is the fastest way to get the news on new routes and meet some climber on Karpathos. If you want to comment some routes, there is space for everything. Try it! Of course, you can`t compare Karpathos with Kalymnos. But this is absolutely not necessary, on Karpathos you can do much more than rock climbing. Karpathos is very famous for windsurfing and have many nice small beaches for an ordinary holiday. 4 Travel to Karpathos There are some direct flights from German and Austria (Air Berlin). Over that it´s possible to fly via Rhodos and Athens. Olympic Airways offers 3 flights per day from Rhodos to Karpathos You can travel also by ferry to Karpathos, Anek Lines offers a ferry from Athen 3 times per week.
