Arkasa, one of the developing tourist centres of Karpathos, lives a modern life together with very old memories.

In Palaiokastro - that so much bravely stands against all the sea waves of the Karpathian sea - people already live from the prehistoric times.

And appears that they have never left.

This can be testified by the later monuments, as the mosaics of Saint Anastasia of 5th century and the church of Saint Sofia.
Thus they reached today having their houses, next to the sea, and between their own gardens.

Further, in the region of Arkasas belongs also a marine neighborhood, the small fishermans village... Finiki.
