Astypalea
Island
Area: 97 sq.km
Population: 1.238
 Butterfly-shaped
Astypalea can be excused its identity crisis. Officially
belonging to the Dodecanese, this most westerly island of the
archipelago would feel more at home geographically in the
Cyclades. The main port area of Skala certainly has a Cycladic
feel, with typical whitewashed, cubic houses clinging to the
hillside below the Venetian castle, which dominates the
skyline of hilltop Chora. Skala and Chora are linked by a
steep flight of steps or a less arduous meander along the
narrow road. On turning the final bend into Chora, a splendid
main square flanked by a line of windmills greets the eye.
Ferry
connections to Astypalea are poor and the journey lengthy so
the island has not fallen prey to any dramatic tourist
development. The simple pleasures of tavernas and cafes are
the limit to evening entertainment, preceded by the ever
popular "volta" when the locals have their
pre-dinner stroll along attractive harbour front.
Daytime
activity is limited to say the least. A 20 minute walk from
Skala and the shingle beach of Livadia, one of the best on the
island complete with tavernas and shaded by tamarisk trees,
beckons. A number of other beaches both to the south and north
are accessible by boat.

Hydra Island
|
|
 Welcome to Hellas
(Greece) and welcome to Hydra! it's probably impossible to fit all of Hydra's fascinating beauty in this small
pamphlet. We have attempted, however, to give a short description of the island that has enough to offer the visitor and guarantees a memorable
vacation.
The healthy dry climate, the friendly people, the sparkling warm waters and the picturesque harbor that at sundown transforms into a cosmopolitan city full of sports, scuba diving, trips to the islander historical monasteries, donkey rides in town, shopping In the stores along the harbor, good food in the taverner and restaurants, and all night partying at the bars and music clubs around
town.
The high quality and exquisite service characteristic of the hotels and other shops and restaurants fit perfectly the strict standards of the highest class visitors and the jet set from all over the world that come to Hydra every
year.
