Astypalaia is the "bridge" that connects the Cyclades and the Dodecanese combining elements of both island groups. Full of high rocks and hills, with beautiful beaches and picturesque villages, invites you on a magical journey to the Aegean blue and the white of its houses. The name of the island (which means "old city") is attributed, according to mythology, a brother of Europe, mother of King Minos.
