2Astypalea – The Butterfly of the Aegean

Shaped like a butterfly, Astypalea is a hidden gem that blends the best of the Cyclades and the Dodecanese. With its whitewashed houses, windmills, and traditional charm, Astypalea offers a more peaceful alternative to busier Greek islands.

The island’s beaches, such as Livadi and Kaminakia, are perfect for those seeking solitude and natural beauty. Astypalea’s main town, also called Chora, is home to a Venetian castle and offers breathtaking sunset views. The island is known for its warm hospitality, fresh seafood, and laid-back atmosphere, making it an ideal destination for a crowd-free getaway.
