3Astypalaia Island
Located in the Dodecanese, Astypalaia is often overlooked by travelers, but it is truly one of the most picturesque islands in Greece. The island’s unique shape, which resembles a butterfly, is surrounded by crystal-clear waters and dotted with charming whitewashed buildings. The Venetian castle on the hilltop provides a panoramic view of the entire island, including the narrow streets and quaint houses below.
The serene beaches, such as the sandy Vatses beach, and the quiet ambiance of the island offer a perfect escape. The mix of natural beauty, historical sites, and pristine surroundings makes Astypalaia feel like an untouched paradise, ideal for those seeking a peaceful getaway in Greece.
