Apella Beach in Karpathos is a stunning gem nestled on the east coast of the island with crystal-clear turquoise waters surrounded by mountains and lush pine forests. The beach even won 1st place for the most beautiful beach in Europe years back. And although it got more busy, this beach is still so gorgeous and worth a visit!

The beach is accessible by car. From Pigadia it takes about 30 minutes by car to arrive at the beach. If you don't have a car or want to go by boat this is also possible. There are boat trips from Pigadia that also stop at Apella Beach.

Also, don't forget to check out the two beautiful viewpoints near Apella Beach that are in our guide as well because you'll find them on the way towards Apella and it would be a shame to miss it!

The beach has sunbeds and there is a taverna at the top.
