5 stars in every category! This is one of my favourite places in the world - both the island of Astypalea and this airbnb in particular. It felt like all my Greek dreams come true :). A small friendly village, whitewashed streets and walls, lovely cafes, bakeries, grocery stores within walking distance, a balcony with shade and view to die for, a clean, well-equipped, light-filled traditional home...It was wonderful in every way. As nice or nicer than the photos. I had to change our booking a number of times because of the ever-changing ferry schedules (this is the main challenge of the stay- but in the end we were able to ferry in and fly out), and Nikolas had eternal patience with me and all my questions/changes. He picked us up at the port at 10 pm, and his kind father drove us to the airport on our departure. The best kind of airbnb host. Astypalea is truly a rare and special place. You'll never regret a visit here.
