Diafani Waterfront Tavernas (Karpathos)

35° 45.3′ N · 27° 12.6′ E

A short row of family tavernas and café-bars on the Diafani seafront, right behind the ferry quay. It is the only place to eat in the far north apart from up in Olympos.

Practical

Pinned on To Korali (Corali), as mapped in OpenStreetMap. Others on the front: Anemoessa next door, The Dolphins, Chrissi Akti (a restaurant and café-bar), Rahati, Anixis, Afani, Blue Blue (a restaurant, café and bar), To Kyma, and To Aktaio café (OSM). None publish hours, and most close outside May–Oct, so verify locally. Up the hill in Olympos, O Milos (+30 2245 051333) and Blue Garden (+30 2245 051101) also list phone numbers (OSM). The harbour is exposed, so eat early if a meltemi is building and someone needs to stay with the boat.

Best for

Dinner ashore after a day at Tristomo or Saria
