Just two kilometers from Chora, the small seaside village of Livadia lies in a valley bordered by citrus groves and lush vineyards. Must-see attractions include the Negros Cave in Vatses (reachabale by boat from Chora) and the Agios Vasileios hilltop ruins.
Do & See
There is plenty to do and see in and around the island. Those who dare venture out of the island's attractive, well-groomed Chora will be duly rewarded with nature trails, secluded coves and beaches, remains of ancient structures, and a rare sense of discovery in virgin lands. Heading even further out, smaller islands very close to Astypalaia are perfectly reachable by boat (tours are offered throughout, especially during high season).
