Astypalaia , is a Greek island with 1,334 residents (2011 census). It belongs to the Dodecanese, an archipelago of twelve major islands in the southeastern Aegean Sea.
The island is 18 kilometres (11 miles) long, 13 kilometres (8 miles) wide at the most, and covers an area of 97 km . Along with numerous smaller uninhabited offshore islets (the largest of which are Sýrna and Ofidoussa), it forms the Municipality of Astypalaia.It is off the beaten track,so doesn't get lots of tourists,mainly greeks.
Rosie and George had always wanted to visit,but never made it.Rosie and I spent 4 days there,taking the catamaran from Kos(1 and half hours)then returning by ferry(3 and half hours)
I loved Astypalaia, when I went there, there was only one restauranteur on the island that could speak English and I think I was the only English guest there, but I loved it.
Well Carol, I now have a mystery. I'm sure I've seen photos of these before, but I've no idea where. I've used the search on here, but without success.
