Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Found in Astypalaia, where history and heritage collide, this home pays homage to both. Minimalist with a whitewashed Cycladic exterior, the interior is matched to create a coastal atmosphere whilst holding to tradition. Though it's small and everyone might not feel comfortable on the spiral staircase, you can catch a glimpse of the Venetian Castle of Astypalaea from the balcony. Beach lovers can drop their bags and find themselves on the shores of Livadi in a matter of minutes. The kitchen is okay for light bites, but with several restaurants around, you wouldn't need to bother if you don't want to.

About Greece
The myths and legends are probably a good place to start when speaking of Greece and its otherworldly treasures. From Mount Olympus between Thessaly and Macedonia and all the way to the mythical island of Ithaca, the country is like a ripened fig with layers of flavour.
