karpathos - menetes & agios nikolaos beach

Karpathos - 18th of September

Oh this private pool with sunrise view, we cherish those wonderful refreshing & short swimming laps at all possible moments, because we can!

The enchanting and colorful neighboring village Menetes had charmed us so much, so we went there once more and had a drink at the partridge tavern on the corner.

In the afternoon we had lunch at the beach in restaurant Glaros and entertained ourselves on the beach for the rest of the afternoon. Henk went beachcombing and made a piece of art with the waste he found.

In the evening we had dinner at Sofia, one of the oldest restaurants in Pigadia which is always packed. We had to wait in the queue, but it was definitely worth it!

Upon returning home at villa september, another dive under the light of the super moon and countless stars!

karpathos - menetes & finiki

Karpathos - 14th of September

A daytrip to Menetes and Finiki.

Menetes is an amiable, colorful, picturesque village, built amphitheatrically on the slopes of a hill.

After a strol trough the steep narrow alleys, we had a drink at Taverna Manolis. A little later we walked further and were spontaneously invited for a cup of Greek coffee by Kostas, a resident of Menetes. What a kind-natured man! while the coffee was simmering in his small and cosy kitchen, he proudly showed us his house. Moreover he treated us to a touching violin concert. Really too sweet, pure hospitality. Kostas made our day!

In the afternoon we drove along the west coast towards Finiki and had delicious lunch at Mama Cuisine in the quiet and small bay of Finiki. And after lunch we spend a few hours under the parasol on the sandy beach.

At the end of this glorious day we drove back to our villa, made dinner and dined outside under the starry sky. In this quiet place it gets truly dark in and you can easily see countless stars. Magical!
