Astypalaia is a small but spectacular Greek island in the Dodecanese, voted #1 island in the world for 2026 by The Guardian. With its butterfly shape (formed by two land masses connected by a narrow isthmus), it offers diverse landscapes: the Inner Island has the airport, sandy beaches and salt flats, while the Outer Island holds Chora's iconic windmills, the Venetian Castle, and the most picturesque white-and-blue village in the Aegean.
