Our three-day excursion to Astypalea was a true surprise to me. Astypalea was actually a last-minute decision for us. We had already planned our two-week holiday in Rhodes, when we saw the Astypalea section in your site, Greeka.com. So, we said, why not? It is close to Rhodes and it is a special island to see. Indeed, it was a wonderful experience for me. Cozy beaches with barely ten or twenty swimmers, traditional restaurants with friendly onwers, cafeterias with quick service (because they didn't have much clients to serve, probably!) and a cheap, clean hotel. This was pretty much the ambience of our weekend in Astypalea, plus some lovely treks to the Castle and the villages along the coastline. Relax and relax and relax...
