Astypalaia may not be famous for its wild nightlife, like other islands are, but you will definitely have a good time with its contrasting moods, swinging from romantic cafes to very loud bars, packed with people and only a few meters from each other! Wherever you go you will be followed by breathtaking views of the night’s sea and sky. Give in and dance to the vibe of the island if you really want to get to know it.
