4Astypalea – The Butterfly of the Aegean

Astypalea, shaped like a butterfly, combines the best of the Cyclades and the Dodecanese. Its main town, Chora, is dominated by a Venetian castle that offers sweeping views of the island’s sugar-cube houses and deep blue waters.

The island remains relatively untouched by mass tourism, making it perfect for travelers seeking an authentic and peaceful escape.
