An immense rock, crowned by the ancient Castle and the exquisite Chora Astypalaia, rises from the middle of the boundless Aegean Sea.
It seems as if a flood of brilliant white houses rises from the entrance of the Castle towards 'Pera Gialo', the seaport of the main town.
The labyrinthine cobbled streets and the pretty, picturesque, interesting, mysterious neighborhoods must be explored by tourists. The Chora is given its specific colour by the windmills and the countless small churches. With spacious, cozy, traditional-style rooms promise a place of rest and tranquility for the guest.
Opposite to the port, on the ascent that leads to Chora, is situated "Vivamare", an elegant complex, in which dominate the blue and white colour. Its beautiful architectural style is in harmony with the village.
To the southeast are the islets of Hondro, Ligno, Aghia Kyriaki with a church dedicated to that saint, Koutsomytis with its charming beach and Kounoupi. Further out are Adelfi, Syrna and the Tria Nisia. To the west are the islets of Ktenia, Pontikoussa, Ofidoussa and Katsagreli. To the north is Fokionisia. You can start your "sea & beaches" tour at the beach at Pera Yialos. From there by boat or car visit the beaches at Livadi (with sand and pebbles), Tzanaki, Moura, Pappou and Aghios Konstantinos (7km away).
