Karya once was an important head-village and now it is considered one of the most ancient villages of the island. It took its name from the walnut trees (in Greek karudia) which abounded in the area. The village is near mountain Exobourgo built on a slope. Many dovecotes and chapels are scattered around in the area. In Karua you can find a monastery right at the top of the hill as well as the churches of Agios Eleftherios, Agios Dimitrios and Kimisis tis Theotokou.
Nature-lovers can visit the declared protected area of the village. Here also exists a Folkloric museum, a marble workshop, and a carpentry workshop. It is noteworthy mentioning that the first cheese factory of the island operated in Karua. Visitors can enjoy their food or drink in the local tavern and the small café. The cultural association of the village organizes events and festivals, maintaining their tradition and cultural background.
