1Astypalaia: Bridge Between the Aegean and the Dodecanese

Astypalaia, part of the Dodecanese, is a unique island that bridges the gap between two island groups—the Aegean and the Dodecanese. Shaped like a butterfly, Astypalaia boasts a diverse landscape with charming villages, windmills, and pristine beaches.

The Castle of Astypalaia, perched on a hill overlooking the island, offers panoramic views of the surrounding sea and the picturesque Chora. Quaint villages like Analipsi and Livadi beckon with their traditional architecture and warm hospitality. Astypalaia provides a serene escape, where the fusion of Aegean and Dodecanese influences creates a distinct character that sets it apart from more frequented Greek islands.
