Astypalaia - Livadia Valley

Below the Astypalaia Khóra, to the west, is the fertile Livádia valley, the main area of agricultural land on the island. Scattered all over the island are some 200 churches and chapels, mostly founded by local families and now frequently in a ruinous state. There are numerous small islets and isolated rocks, some of which provide grazing for goats. Some 35-45km/22-28mi southeast are the lonely little islands of Seírina and Tría Nisía.
