The village of Livadi in Astypalea

Livadi is located at a distance of three kilometers from Astypalea‘s Chora and is a developing area.A small coastal settlement where one faces a valley with mandarin trees, pomegranates, lemon trees and vines.

At the north-western edge, at the back of the valley, the dam has been constructed where the waters of the torrents are collected during the rainy season. Thus an artificial lake has been formed which covers the island’s water needs.

The dirt road in front of the dam leads to the beautiful meadow beach ending at the bridge. Here you will find crystal clear waters for swimming with fine pebbles and sand and you will do water sports, such as windsurfing, canoeing and pedal boats, since it is the only organized beach.

In Livadi there are several taverns, ouzos, supermarkets that are literally on the edge of the wave with a view of the country and the castle.

In the meadow there is a local transport with small buses with frequent routes in the summer months and it connects to Chora, Pera Gialos, the port of Agios Andreas, the airport and Maltezana
