Church of Panagia Portaitissa

An embodiment of the iconic Greek white-with-a-blue-dome, postcard-ready look that dominates postcards, this structure is set atop a high hill and dates back to the 18th century.

Do & See

There is plenty to do and see in and around the island. Those who dare venture out of the island's attractive, well-groomed Chora will be duly rewarded with nature trails, secluded coves and beaches, remains of ancient structures, and a rare sense of discovery in virgin lands. Heading even further out, smaller islands very close to Astypalaia are perfectly reachable by boat (tours are offered throughout, especially during high season).
