Location

Avlona is currently the northernmost village in Karpathos that is accessible by automobile, and is accessible only via Olympos or Diafani. At the end of the Avlona road, there are hiking trails which lead to the ancient coastal settlement of Vrykountas, as well as the next village to the north, Tristomo (which is currently only accessible either by foot via Avlona or Diafani, or by boat via Diafani).

As of March 2019, there is a paved road being constructed to connect Avlona to Tristomo, which will officially connect all the villages of Karpathos.
