6Astypalea
Located between the Cyclades and the Dodecanese, Astypalea combines the best features of both island groups. Its butterfly-shaped coastline is dotted with hidden beaches, while the island’s hilltop castle creates one of the most striking skylines in Greece.
Despite its undeniable beauty, Astypalea remains off the radar for many international tourists. The result is a destination where travelers can still find quiet streets, genuine hospitality, and peaceful seaside tavernas.
