The butterfly of the Aegean..........
Astypalaia, the butterfly of the Aegean, so named due to its shape. Although officially part of the Dodecanese, remote Astypalaia is more Cycladic in looks than its counterparts.
The main town is very dramatic, rising up from the harbour and culminating in the hilltop Venertian kastro. Whitewashed houses are interspersed with violet bougainvillea which creeps over the balconies and doorframes.
At the entrance to the town there are windmills, some of which have now been converted – one into the local tourist office.
Although the island has no organised tourism as such, it has become very fashionable with some boutique hotels and in the high season of July and August, well heeled Athenians and Italians outnumber the locals and make it hard to get plane or accommodation reservations.
Outside of this period, Astypalaia remains fairly quiet but our top tip is fly on/off the island as the ferry timings are not the best.
Please be aware that due to ferry and flight timings, a stay overnight in Athens may be required in either direction.

Happy People
The team have booked three very different holidays for me, two for a couple and one for a group of nine. They listened to our requirements and used their expert knowledge of Greece to provide us with several options from which to choose. I found them to be very professional, nothing is too much trouble and they strive to find a good deal. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

The business has booked me a few different holidays ranging from 2 weeks away in the sun to City Breaks. They have a great knowledge and understanding of your needs and requirements when booking a holiday. They always try to accommodate your budget and work extremely hard to get you what you're asking for. They have an extremely good knowledge of the Greek Islands and never fail when recommending specific places. I would always recommend the team as they are helpful and professional at all times.

Fantastic service. I explained what kind of holiday I was looking for and my budget and they came up with different options to choose from. Nothing was too much trouble and the communication was first class. I would definitely recommend and would not hesitate in using this 5 star service again.
