Cucina Restaurant

Located at the upscale Pylaia Hotel, the Cucina is an elegant establishment offering a selection of exquisitely crafted dishes (with locally-sourced ingredients) and drinks. The outdoor terrace set on a cliff hanging over the Aegean makes for brilliant views and a unique ambiance.

Dining

For an island of slightly over a 1000 inhabitants, Astypalaia boasts a surprising number of pleasant restaurants and cafes, most of which concentrated in Chora and along the Pera Gialos waterfront. Seafood reigns queen in the menus of local eateries, with heavy culinary influences from the Greek mainland, Italy and Turkey. Do not be surprised to find that some places may not have a written down list of dishes, but rather a "spoken" menu, where the owner and/or staff announce the offers of the day.
