Avlona village

The northernmost farming settlement with typical houses (´stavlos´) in a valley protected by the mountains of Oros (561 m) and Steoi (639 m). Avlona is a perfect point of departure to go hiking in the northern part of the island to visit the remains of ancient times in Vourkounda or the northernmost tip of the island with the former settlement of Tristomo and the strait of Stenó, separating Karpathos from the little island of Sariá.
