On the Greek island of Karpathos you will find the most beautiful beach in Greece. It is not for nothing that it was voted the most beautiful beach in Europe in 2003. Today we take you on a day at Apella!

The route to Apella beach

Apella is located in the North of Karpathos. From the capital Pigadia (also called Karpathos city) it is about a 30-minute drive. Not only the beach is beautiful, but also the road to Apella is worth all the many stops and photos.

Just before the road to the beach starts below you come to a beautiful viewpoint where you can already see the most beautiful beach in Greece. A nice moment to put the car aside for a long time and take some pictures.

For those who prefer not to lie on one beach all day, you can combine Apella with the nearby beaches Kyra Panagia and Ahata.

Tips for visiting the most beautiful beach in Greece

Are you planning to go to Apella this summer? Here are our tips to make it a great day!

Snorkeling

Apella is one of the most beautiful beaches for snorkeling. So don't forget to bring your diving goggles. Curious about the other places where you can snorkel well? Check out our blog about snorkeling on Karpathos.

Go as early as possible

Apella is busy and hot. So go as early as possible. We do park along the road here and it's nice if you don't have to be at the very top and don't have to make too much effort when driving away.

In addition, it is often windless on Apella and therefore very warm. So go as early as possible. On the left side of the beach (so the furthest corner from arrival on the beach!) The shade comes quickly, so you can sit here if you are tired of the sun.

Overlooking the most beautiful beach in Greece

Halfway along the beach there is a small road going up to the left. So don't forget to bring sturdy sandals or shoes, because the view is beautiful. It's not very far up, but from here you have a beautiful view of the beach: do it!

You can also go by boat

Don't have your own transport on Karpathos? or do you just think it would be fun to do a boat trip? You can also take the boat from Karpathos town to Apella. The boat also stops at Vasalis Paradise (only accessible by boat) and Kyra Panagia.
