Astypalaia is the first “smart” and green island, allowing you to move electrically.
Most of the island’s beaches are at such a geographical point that the sun does not shine enough in the afternoon. This means that you can swim there without an umbrella.
Chora is a beautiful town and offers amazing photographic snapshots when you walk on the streets of the island.
Certainly, it is worth dedicating one day of your stay in Astypalaia to an excursion on tourist boats from Pera Gialos, which depart daily (weather permitting) for the remote beaches of the island and the islets of Kounoupes and Koutsomytis.
