In the middle of the Aegean has settled a butterfly is an island called Astypalea, and that the Venetians called Stampalia. Cyclades to the appearance and the lack of vegetation, but Dodecanese as membership administration, dominated by the Venetian Kastro.
Given the right wind, Fair Wind to leave Samos on track to the south: Lipsi, and then Levitha Astypalea. Fair Wind arrives at the small pier in the Gulf of Analipsi Maltezana, quiet and a berth in the background than the main port of Skala. The tranquility that can be enjoyed right next to another small, colorful fishing boats is similar to that of a mooring in the harbor. At the root of the small harbor, a small fountain to draw water for the pot of pasta in the evening and the bus stop to go, day in Platos Gialo, Chora and Livadi, two drivers alternate driving the old bus and entertain the passengers, almost always the same.
So spend a few days, the rediscovery of one of the goals of the past summers, moderate growth in the number of dwellings, but remained essentially very attractive. Astypalea lives up to the memory of fascinating island with a beautiful Chora and a friendly and welcoming population
season, from the perspective of island life, is now at the end and many places are closed and life is primarily focused on the beach of Livadi.
Offshore boats are still many who use Astypalea as an intermediate step between Kos and the most famous Santorini. Among the crews of passing are many Germans, and those coming from Eastern European countries. 
In the Gulf of Maltezana Fair Wind makes the acquaintance of the beautiful Dark Bora, one of the 70 sloop designed and built by the legendary Sciarelli, moving house and now a very nice couple consisting of a Trieste and one Australian. Both attracted by the life boat at sea have chosen as their permanent residence. A new knowledge and new adventures together on the ground and at sea for two crews
