If we had only one day to do some things in and around Pigadia, this is what we would do!

Let's start the day with a beautiful hike just outside the city. From the city centre, you can walk through a beautiful pine forest before arriving at Agia Kiriaki. After enjoying the stunning panoramic views you can continue to hike toward Panagia Larniotissa and the St. Zacharia church before arriving back in Pigadia. This hike is around five and a half kilometres and will take you about 3 hours including stops. A more in-depth route can be found here: https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/greece/karpathos/karpathos-agia-kyriaki-panagia-larniotissa-monastery?mobileMap=false&ref=sidebar-static-map

We recommend starting early. Especially in high season when it's hot. 8 am is the perfect time to start your hike. Eat something small before you start your hike and take a snack and water with you during the hike.

After the hike, you're probably hungry so it's time for a late breakfast or early lunch whatever you want to call it!

Of course, you could also choose to have breakfast before your walk, but since it can be very warm depending on the period you visit Karpathos we'd recommend hiking first before it's getting too hot.

Choose one of these two spots for breakfast/lunch. Both have lots of chooses and are located on the boulevard of Pigadia so you'll have a nice view of all the boats and people walking along the boulevard.

Time to get your swimsuit and have a swim or soak up the sun at the beach of Pigadia. The beach part that closed to the city will be the busiest so if you want the beach to be more peaceful walk a little further from the city.

Later in the afternoon, you can go for a stroll through the streets of Pigadia. It is a little less hot and also a lot quieter because of the siesta. So a perfect time especially if you want to take nice pictures. Along the way you can visit the Pigadia boat, the cat steps and the colorful bar Boulevard of Broken Dreams.
