The island of Karpathos is located between the two well know Greek islands of Rhodes
and Crete, with a history dating back to the Minoan era and Mycenean tombs and
settlements going back to the second millennium B.C. In the Doric times (1000 BC)
it was referred to as Tetrapolis, after the four famous cities, Potideo (Pigadia), Arkessia
(the present Arkasa), Vrykous and Nissyros (in the area of Olympos). In the Classic
and Hellenistic periods followed the history of the rest of Greece. In 42 BC Karpathos was
conquered by the Romans and later became part of the Byzantine Empire. From the 7th to
10th century A.D. Karpathos was ravaged by the pirates. The people who lived close to the
sea moved to the mountains. The island was invaded by the Genoans, St. John's Knights,
the Venetians and the Turks. In the 1821 revolution Karpathos was liberated and in
1830 was given back to the Turks under a treaty. In 1912 the island was conquered by
the Italians and in 1948 it was liberated and joined the rest of Greece. Karpathos aims
