Speleological Tourism. Discover the Cave of Negros with its impressive stalactites, Drakos Cave and the Cave of Panagia Poulariani, known for its unique shape (all open to public). Hiking. Thanks to its special geomorphology, Astypalaia offers two separate paths. We recommend taking the hiking trail that starts from Livadi,on the west side of the island, and leads to the beach of Ai Giannis, from where you can come back to town by boat (you would need to arrange for a local boat to pick you up from there).
Added bonus: you may see some dolphins following your boat!
