“Karpathos has an invaluable natural wealth which, together with the traditional heritage of its inhabitants, make up a destination that meets the expectations of travelers even outside the high season of July-August. In this direction, we are setting new promotion and development goals with an emphasis on alternative forms of tourism”, explains the Deputy Mayor for Tourism of the Municipality of Karpathos, Manolis Paragyios.
The great potential of the destination in terms of the expansion of the tourist season was highlighted by a new statistical analysis of a specialized marketing company that was recently presented to the municipality’s tourism working group.
According to the survey, Karpathos for September and October was ranked 3rd and 4th respectively, among all the country’s airports based on the percentage increase in domestic and international arrivals, which exceeded 60% compared to last year. Additionally, its international air arrivals for October hit a 35-year record high.
