Although Astypalea belongs to the Dodecanese complex, it has an intense Cycladic character. This is a small island and its shape looks like a butterfly. Tourism is not much developed but tourist facilities are enough to cater for the limited number of
visitors. Astypalea island looks very charming with the picturesque architecture of Chora, the Venetian Castle on top of the hill, the traditional windmills and the relaxing beaches. Few beaches close to Chora are organized, but as you drive away from the
capital, you will find totally secluded places to enjoy privacy. Astypalea Greece is an ideal place for families and romantic couples.
