Barbarossa Apartments
Kitchenette apartments a kilometre from Karpathos Airport
About this hotel
Barbarossa Apartments sits close to the Prasonisi shoreline, with the standout fact being its 1 km distance from Karpathos Airport, about as convenient as an arrival or departure stay gets on this island. Kitchenettes and a garden cover the practical side, and free parking removes any friction for guests with a rental car. This isn't a destination property in itself so much as a genuinely useful base for the first or last night of a Karpathos trip, or for travellers timing an early flight. Guests who value that kind of setting over a resort-scale amenity list tend to rate this property highest, since the location itself does most of the work. It is the sort of detail that only shows up once you are actually staying there, not something a quick listing photo fully captures beforehand.

Our take
Travellers needing a stress-free first or last night near Karpathos Airport, with the flexibility of a kitchenette, will find Barbarossa Apartments does exactly that job well. This is not a beach-holiday destination in its own right, book it for convenience rather than scenery. Anyone wanting a bigger resort with more organised amenities should look elsewhere on the island instead.
- ✓Book this specifically for an early flight or late arrival
- ✓Use the kitchenette for a simple meal rather than searching for restaurants nearby
- ✓Confirm parking arrangements in advance if returning a rental car at the airport

Why guests love itThis was exactly what we needed for a late arrival and an early departure a week later, a kilometre from the airport meant zero stress on both ends. The kitchenette covered a simple dinner the first night when we were too tired to look for a restaurant. Not scenic, but genuinely useful. Small details like that ended up mattering more than the room itself by the end of the stay.
