Today, we took an almost 2.5-hour boat ride from Pigadia, Karpathos, to Saria Island. Saria is a mostly uninhabited island, just to the north of Karpathos. There are some archaelogical sites on this island, the most notable being Palatia. Palatia are a group of small dwellings that were built hundreds of years ago. May of the structures are still intact. While on Saria, we hiked through a beautiful canyon, to the town of Argos. Argos is a small village that is mostly in ruins, which does not appear to have any year-round inhabitants. The homes are very close together, and from a distance they blend together and look like a castle. After the hike, we swam in the small natural harbor at Palatia. During the return to Pigadia, we got to see one of the high-speed ferries that link the Dodecanese Islands. These travel twice as fast as the regular ferries, but are also twice as expensive.
