Art and Walk is a company that organizes activities based on Karpathos island in Greece. We provide the highest quality guided walks, guided hikes, creative workshops and agricultural tours on Karpathos, and day trip to Kasos island. With years of experience in international tourism we offer you a fun and relaxed time.
With the many languages we speak we would love to show you the beauty of Karpathos in a way you understand. We love the nature and enjoy walking through the local villages and hiking through the nature paths that Karpathos island offers. In addition we are also big ocean warriors as we are scuba dive instructors and diving is a big passion of ours. We are also Emergency First Response instructors, so safety and health is very important to us too. A big part of our love for nature reflects in the activities we organize such as cleaning up the plastic from the beaches and creating art out of recyclable material during our creative workshops.
We have been living on the island for many years and even-though our roots lie in Sweden and the Netherlands, Karpathos has become our home. We have traveled the world and have seen the most beautiful places and experienced the most amazing memories. Karpathos is the place we always returned to. This is our safe haven and the place where we feel most comfortable and happy. Karpathos is home.
Art and Walk Karpathos was born out of the feeling of enthusiasm and realising a dream.
Albest Einstein once said ‘Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better’.
Our day to day live close to nature provides inspiration for our work. We love to guide people on hikes where it took us years to fully explore and we enjoy seeing what kind of artwork comes forth from spending time on the island.
We are passionate nature lovers, experienced hikers, art therapy coaches, art instructors and loving parents. We speak English, Dutch, Swedish, Spanish, German and of course some Greek. This helps us to share our knowledge and experience in the best way.
