Olympos is a picturesque village known for its striking black and white architecture, nestled in the heart of Karpathos. Located at an altitude of 310 meters, it sits at the foothills of Prophet Elias in northern Karpathos and offers stunning views and a rich history. The village is accessed from the west via a steep path, while the eastern route leads to the serene beach of Diafani. As part of the Municipality of Karpathos, Olympos is home to 556 residents according to the 2011 census. Historically, it was once part of the ancient cities of Vrykous and Saros, which were abandoned in the7th century due to pirate raids, prompting the locals to seek refuge in the mountainous areas.
