The Lastos hike was a great experience! - Hiking with Art and Walk offers the chance to experience nature up close, find peace and enjoy breathtaking views of wild nature and beautiful vistas. Led by the friendly and enthusiastic Thom who has a lot of knowledge of the environment, culture and customs of the people (he has been able to inspire us with interesting stories) I have been able to enjoy beautiful walk surrounded by enchanting smells of thyme and sage. Walked through narrow goat paths with some tough climbs. You come across characterful dilapidated houses, you see grazing cows, goats and sheep. In the middle of this is a beautiful chapel where we were allowed to enjoy a well-deserved break with a delicious homemade tea of sage with thyme honey from Katpathos. Highly recommended for those who love nature and adventure. Definitely worth it! Thom and Renate - thank you so much!

Super hiking in Karpathos - I really can’t recommend Art and Walk enough if you want to do a hike in Karpathos! We joined both the Lastos hike and Agia Kyriaki walk with Renate and had a great time. Renate is great company and so knowledgeable and passionate about the island. Got to see a lot of goats and other animals too in addition to amazing views.

- We were collected by our guided in Pigadia(recommended) as the starting point can take some time to find if you are new on the Island. Our guide Thom is from Sweden but has lived in the mountain with his wife in Karpathos in many years where they have explored the mountain area, the nature ( flowers, animals and vegetations) and have collected a lot of enlightening stories of the surrounding mountain area including the history of the Island. The views are breath taking, the colors and smells from spices blend into the demanding walk some places on the rim to the sky and the endless space. Thom will deliver stories and knowledge from this remote paradise. Just ‘hit the road’ and find the hidden sleeping ‘Stone Giant’

Fantastic walk in Lastos - If you want to do something different, discover more about the territory, flora and fauna, see beautiful views in good company, the walk to Lastos is definitely the right choice. Renate is really a special person: smiling, sunny and very attentive to the needs of the group. I highly recommend the experience.
