Astropelos

Located at the beachfront in Livadia, Astropelos specializes in (perhaps, expectedly so) fish and seafood dishes. There is no menu at the restaurant, which means the owner and staff make recommendations based on what is freshly available that day. Dishes are well-crafted and beautifully presented.

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.
