5Astypalea: The Butterfly of the Aegean
Shaped like a butterfly, Astypalea is a blend of Cycladic and Dodecanese architecture. Its main town, Chora, is crowned by a medieval castle, providing panoramic views of the deep blue Aegean. The island is home to hidden coves, golden beaches, and a relaxed vibe.
Livadi Beach and Kaminakia Beach are perfect for a quiet swim, while the whitewashed houses and windmills of Chora create an idyllic setting for a stroll at sunset.
