Karpathos ’26

By Iliontas beach. Roast kid with potatoes, made from what they grow and raise themselves.

By the sea in Pigadia. First-evening lamb kleftiko.

Small, calm fishing village by the sea. Another coffee, nowhere to be.

Small, simple apartment, but the terrace looks over all of Pigadia, the harbour and the mountains opposite. The owner carried my backpack upstairs.

Wind and big waves. A swim, then sitting on a rock in the sun.

Coffee with a view.

Scooter rental in Pigadia. A small scooter for two days; damage was reported and sorted out the next day.

Village high in the hills — a completely different Karpathos from the one by the sea.

Pigadia, on the evening walk — the old decorative boat on the steps.
