TRAIL EXPERIENCE
For the more experienced mountain bikers, or for those who would like to experience some flow trails under the guidance of our expert Guide Jirka, we have prepared a series of single-track trails around Pigadia, which are linked by agricultural roads. The trails will definitely get your adrenaline flowing.
13 CHURCHES
The churches in Greece always seem to have the greatest views, so we created a tour to include as many churches as possible. The tour starts in Pigadia and following agricultural roads ascends to the picturesque village of Menetes. The main church in the village is built right on the edge of a cliff and offers spectacular views over the bay of Pigadia. In the village we take a short break and visit a traditional Karpathian home, before continuing the tour which eventually finishes at the starting point in Pigadia.
RED CANYON
This circular tour passes just below the village of Othos which is situated at the highest altitude on the Island which is at 510 meters above sea level. So, you immediately understand that there is some serious climbing involved. The tour is very rewarding as you enjoy views over both the east and west coasts of Karpathos and the trail winds through a sparsely vegetated Red Canyon on a seldomly used agricultural road. The decent is fast and on an asphalt road passes through the olive groves of the village of Aperi .
- For tough bikers the tour could be extended to the mountain villages of Othos, Volada and Aperi.

A word about
ION CLUB Karpathos
Deserted beaches, beautiful and typical Greek villages at the foot of the mountains and cozy tavernas ... this is Karpathos. Karpathos is located in the south of the Aegean Sea and south of most of the other Greek islands, more precisely about 150 km southeast of Rhodes. Karpathos has long been a favourite spot for windsurfers from all over Europe, many of whom return every year for the fantastic wind conditions. Opt for a windsurfing holiday in summer, with very little or no risk of being disappointed … windsurfing and Karpathos are one and the same! The island lies between Rhodes and Crete, which makes the Meltemi, the prevailing local north wind, even stronger as it blows through the mountains.
In July and August, the wind can reach 35-40 knots in the afternoon and is perfect for riders who like sailing with small sail sizes. However, in May-June and September the wind is less intense and more regular, so bringing joy to many windsurfers.
However, there is not only the sea in Karpathos … a mountain range partially forested with pine trees crosses from the north to the center of the island. While there are mountains with an altitude of more than 600 meters in the north, the mountain Kali Limni rises to 1,215 meters and is located in the central area of the island. It is one of the highest mountains in the Dodecanese and is marked by paths and gravel roads.
BEST PERIODS
May for relaxed wind, beginner or foiling, empty bays, enjoying mountain biking
June for the wind getting stronger, long day light
July and August: for the strong and the guarantied wind, energy full atmosphere in the Club
September: good wind, warm water, more biking and discovery possible
October: for an easy wind, foiling, beautiful biking, relaxing island
WIND
The meltemi is a summer wind that blows in Greece and the Aegean Sea from May to October, accelerating in July and August. Due to the configuration of the hills and mountains of Karpathos, the wind becomes stronger than elsewhere in Greece, which explains its sustained strength and regular presence in Devil's Bay (4 to 8 beaufort). In Chicken Bay which is located more on the side of this wind channel, the wind blows with a little less intensity, 5 to 10 knots less. The wind comes from the northwest and blows offshore from the left. Sometimes in the morning in Karpathos (especially during the summer), the wind is weak or even nil, so it is possible to take a stand up paddle to have fun on the water.
WAVES
Bump & Jump conditions in Gun Bay, no shorebreak, chop up to 1 meter in strong wind at about 500 meters offshore. Great for jumping, but not for surfing.
Flat water in Chicken Bay and Devil's Bay.
HOW TO GET THERE ?
From Karpathos airport
Karpathos has a fairly large airport which offers direct flights to some European cities, but not to France (via Athens, Germany or Austria to fly from France). ION CLUB Karpathos is located only 500m from the airport. As soon as you leave the airport, take the first right and follow our sign.
The port is located about 12km from the center of ION CLUB Karpathos, and is in the main town of the island, Pigadia. The island is connected by ferry to Athens, Crete and the island of Rhodes. If you arrive by boat, just follow the sign to the airport and turn left just before the airport. The signs will show you the rest of the way, it's very simple.
