Astypalea,
Before Everyone Else.
The Cycladic island travel writers are quietly putting at the top of their lists.
Four nights on the island.
A hotel in Chora, the Venetian castle above, islets no one else reaches.
Private transfer from the airport to a boutique hotel with the Acropolis from the rooftop. A late dinner at a place that does not take walk-ins.
A morning at a private collection that opens for ten people at a time. A slow lunch in Thissio, afternoon at the hotel, a rooftop cocktail as the Parthenon lights come on.
Markets in Monastiraki in the morning, a long lunch in Psyrri where the city keeps its pulse. Afternoon at a museum the guides do not make. Dinner on the Athens Riviera.
Late morning flight to Astypalea, forty minutes over the Aegean. The plane lands at the western tip of the island. A driver takes you to Chora, the white village that climbs to the Venetian castle. Sunset from the rooftop.
A private boat for the day. The captain takes you east, to the small islets the locals visit on weekends. Anchor at Koutsomitis, where the beach is sand on both sides. Lunch on the water. A stop at the cave of Negrou on the way back.
A private electric vehicle and driver for the day. The small monasteries, the quiet roads, the single taverna at the back of the island that serves lunch when you ask the morning before. The afternoon ends back at a quiet bay no road reaches.
A slow day at the hotel, a swim, a walk up to the castle. Dinner on the rooftop facing the castle, at the table the family who runs the place keeps for our clients. Slow-cooked goat, the local cheese, a wine no one outside the island knows.
A morning flight back to Athens, before the heat. Assisted transit onward.
A hotel
in the white village.
A hand-selected boutique hotel in Chora, under the Venetian castle. Small, quiet, with the kind of rooftop the island is worth waking up to.
