Karpathos among top 8 islands off the beaten track

·

Blick, Switzerland’s largest newspaper, has urged Swiss and German-speaking travellers to change habits and choose islands without mass tourism. The Greek island of Karpathos was among the suggestions.

The newspaper published a list of 8 European islands which stand out for their traditions, natural beauty and authenticity.

Karpathos island

Karpathos stands in fifth place because the magazine said it “is a bright example of quality, as it is also known as the ‘secret’ Santorini.”

The list includes places from France to Italy, and from Malta to Britain, the Netherlands and Germany.
