Unique views - Amazing hike sorrounded by enchanting views and perfumes of mediterranean sage and thyme. Renata has been a perfect, energetic tour guide: well prepared and full of enthusiasm, she has been able to inspire us with interesting stories, to discover a different Karpathos. Definitely worth it!

Top hike - Super nice walk with beautiful views. Guide Renate tells a lot about the nature we encountered along the way and life on Karpathos. My two daughters aged 14 and 16 also liked it!

Beautiful views and fine guide!! - Super nice views, really super cool! Enough rest moments and shade to sustain the walk and the views are totally worth it. Very nice tourguide who knows a lot about the area and nature, so you will also learn a lot about Karpathos during the walk

A must-try activity while in Karpathos - The trail itself was wonderful, with great views, and just as challenging as one would hope. The guide, Renate, was wonderful - she is incredibly joyful and helpful, and shall surely answer any question one might have, which I believe I thouroughly tested :) One might also have a chance to meet her lovely dog! A wonderful experience overall that is a definite must-do if you’re visiting Karpathos.

Nice hike on Karpathos guided by Jax and Renate - We did the Lastos hike by Art & Walk. While Jax kept us on trail, Renate told us lots of interesting and fun facts. Stunning views, nosy goats and a shot of raki at the end. If you are on Karpathos, don' t miss it!

Professional, enthusiastic guide who knows a lot about the environment, flora, fauna đź’« - Great to do this Lastos hike with top guide Renate. She made it a relaxing and interesting hike that is strenuous and offers the most beautiful views. It gave us a unique view of the interior of Karpathos and the surprisingly green hills with herbs, flowers and goats. Tip: bring shoes with a good profile and Renate's hiking stick!! Recommended!!

Lastos Hike - I have had the pleasure of going on three guided walks with Renate from Art & Walk, and each walk exceeded my expectations. Renate led us through beautiful natural landscapes while providing a wealth of information about the local flora, fauna and the island's inhabitants. Her passion for the environment and community is reflected in her compelling stories. I highly recommend Art & Walk! Advice: shoes with a good profile!

Splendid tour with stunning views - We (two adults and our daugthers aged 18 and 20) just had a wonderful tour with Renate experiencing the landscape and very scenic views. With temperatures in the low twenties and quite a bit of wind, the autumn is a great time for hiking in Karpathos. An absolute recommendation of Art and Walk tours from us :-)
