4Astypalaia

Known as the “Butterfly of the Aegean” Astypalaia is home to views, cuisine and a spiritual history.

The main town of Hora sits below the shadow of a 13th century castle atop a hill, and stretching across the rest of the island are fertile citrus groves and vineyards, helping to fuel the delicious local food. Beaches in Astypalaia are rustic but look out onto translucent azure waters, rock climbing is a popular pastime on the island and after a day in the sea or on the cliff face you can relax in one of Astypalaia’s famous bathhouses.
