Perched on a hillside in the shade of olive and plane trees, the strikingly picturesque village of Kardiani lies to the northwest of the island’s main town, Chora. Narrow, stone-paved alleys wind past whitewashed houses with inviting courtyards and balconies ablaze with brightly coloured flowers. Celebrated for its springs, fountains, traditional architecture and breathtaking sunset views, Kardiani offers an idyllic escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life. But guests are not completely cut off, as there are two tavernas in the village, even a cocktail bar that is easily reached by car or a 15-minute walk up an old path. The nearest beaches can be accessed by bus (once or twice daily from the village), by car (rentals available in Chora), and on foot (+\- 30 mins.) along old pathways. Kardiani is also a perfect base for walking and hiking, with well-marked trails of varying lengths and difficulty crisscrossing the entire island.
