#Astypalaia, a small, butterfly-like shaped island lies where the #Dodecanese meet the #Cycladic islands of #Greece. This less traversed island is a gem of the south eastern Aegean Seas. It’s simple and authentic to the traditional Greek lifestyle, and uniquely dotted with Cycladic architecture although a member of the Dodecanese islands. The 8 traditional windmills (one is even home to a bookstore) stand tall in the chora , town center, watching over its residents and visitors.
