5Olympos, Karpathos (Dodecanese)

Olympos feels like a living museum, where colorful houses cling to the mountainside and residents still wear traditional attire.

Each house is painted in bright hues—sunflower yellow, rose pink, and turquoise—with hand-painted motifs, religious symbols, and folklore scenes adorning their walls. Narrow alleys are lined with embroidered textiles and pottery in vivid tones, reflecting the village’s deep artisan heritage.
