The village Olympos in north of Karpathos is called the most beautiful village of Greece.
Population 761 (2001).

No such other place in Greece has saved so much living traditions like the village Olympos in the north mountain of the island.
In Olympos the women keep house proudly wearing livery. Every Eastern a famous celebration taken place in the village 400 meters above the sea level. The young women get dressed colored traditional costumes with a lot of ornaments. They also present very old jewellery with gold coins.

"I feel culturally British, I feel happy here because you can be whoever you want to be. In Olympos, you can’t. It’s a conformist society. You can’t hang out with girls, girls don’t socialise with boys in the village. But I go there and I’m with my father, I feel like I’m plugging into this proud and beautiful heritage."
