Hotels in Amoopi
One of Karpathos's more developed resort bays, with sheltered, calmer water than much of the island, nine hotels spanning budget to spa-resort tier, 5 to 7 km from Pigadia and the airport.
Amoopi Bay is one of Karpathos's more developed resort areas, a sheltered stretch of coast where nine hotels offer everything from budget kitchenette studios to spa-inclusive resort stays and one dedicated adults-only boutique property. The bay's calmer, sheltered water is the real draw here, gentler swimming conditions than the more exposed coastlines at Arkasa or Vrachonisída Sókastro, particularly useful for families with younger children. Being 5 to 7 km from both Pigadia port and Karpathos Airport keeps Amoopi conveniently central, letting travellers combine resort-bay comfort with easy access to the rest of the island.
