About Astypalea
Astypalea is a Greek island located in the southeastern Aegean Sea, positioned between the Cyclades and the Dodecanese. It is often considered a transitional island due to its cultural and architectural influences from both island groups.
The island is known for its distinctive butterfly-shaped geography, whitewashed houses, and its hilltop Venetian castle overlooking the main town, Chora. Astypalea features a mix of rugged landscapes, quiet beaches, and traditional settlements, maintaining a strong sense of authenticity.
