With a pre-booked rental car you can travel relaxed after your arrival and experience Greece independently and flexibly. Look forwardto amazing villages, days on the beach and many adventures. All this is possible with an own rental car from Karpathos Island National Airport.
There is a wide selection of beaches on Karpathos that can be explored in the summer. The southwest side of the island has sandy beaches with calm waters. The wind is mostly from the east and the sea also tends to be a bit rougher in the east. Definitely visit the following beaches during your summer vacation on Karpathos:
| Beach | Distance from Karpathos Airport | Travel time by rental car |
|---|---|---|
| Amoopi Bay | 7 km | ca. 12 min |
| Achata | 12 km | ca. 20 min |
| Afiartis II | 14 km | ca. 20 min |
| Arkasa Bay | 15 km | ca. 25 min |
| Kyra Panaya | 15 km | ca. 26 min |
| Apella Beach | 20 km | ca. 30 min |
| Agios Minas Beach | 35 km | ca. 1 hour |
Amoopi Bay, about 7 kilometers from the capital, is the most popular place on the island. There are five beaches where you can find everything during summer from a party beach, a family beach and a quiet beach. There are taverns and markets. Afiartis is a very good place for windsurfing. Kyra Panaya beach is nestled between two rocky outcrops. To swim in its deep waters, caution is required. Another beautiful beach is Agios Minas Beach in the north of the island which you can easily reach by your summer rental car. Although remote, it has become better known and the prices of restaurants and renting deck chairs and umbrellas have become more expensive.
There is no bus connection to the airport. Therefore, you have to get there by your own car, rental car or cab. Package tourists are picked up by tour operators' buses and rental cars are brought to the airport on order. In July 2009, a new terminal was put into operation to replace the previous terminal building, which meets the requirements of modern airport operations. Arrivals and departures areas are separated within the building. In addition, an automatic baggage handling system has been installed. In the public area there are several check-in counters, a store and the counters of some car rental companies. Behind the security checkpoint, there is a large waiting hall with several exits to the gates and the airfield. A duty-free store has also been set up here. The terminal has no jetways, so passengers are transported to and from the planes by bus.
Scheduled flights of Olympic Air connect Karpathos with Athens and Rhodes all year round. Between April and October, charter and low-cost airlines also land in Karpathos. During the summer, flights arrive from Munich, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Vienna, Amsterdam and other cities.

When booking online, you can easily compare different cars with our help and pick the cheapest one. First of all, you indicate where you want to pick up the rental car, so it is best to indicate your destination. Afterwards you indicate your return station, thus the place at which you would like to return the rented car again. Most of the time, the locations for the pick-up and return stations are the same, but with one-way rental, you have the option to choose two different locations, so a road trip, for example, will be much more convenient for you. When you are done with this, specify the travel period in which you need the rental car. Next, specify how many people the rental car will be needed for so that you have the perfect vehicle size. You can then choose between different vehicle categories, features, insurance and inclusive services as indicated below. To make your choice easier we also offer three different benefit packages so you don't have to filter everything individually.
Numerous car rental agencies await you both in the city and at the airport, so you are completely independent during your trip to Karpathos. Should you wish to pick up your rental car upon arrival at Karpathos Airport, there are numerous, inexpensive rental cars from various providers available at the airport. Try it immediately and get a comprehensive overview of all providers and their vehicles!
In general, you can park for free in all white marked zones in Karpathos. Yellow marked roadsides, on the other hand, mean that parking is prohibited here. On the other hand, blue-marked roadsides are parking areas for which a fee is charged. In addition, look for no-stopping signs with a single line indicating that you are not allowed to park there on odd-numbered months. Two dashes, on the other hand, stand for even months.
In Greece seat belts are compulsory! Furthermore, it is compulsory to wear a high-visibility vest in case of an accident, which is why we advise you to check the appropriate equipment of the vehicle (warning triangle, first-aid kit, fire extinguisher) before departure. Talking on the phone in the car is only allowed with a wireless hands-free device and the blood alcohol limit is 0.5. Speed limits are as follows:
