Local means of Transport
Bus
The little buses of Astypalaia are as unique as the locals who drive them during the hot summer months! They climb up and down the steep uphill roads of the island picking up and setting down passengers at any point of the route they follow: from Maltezana to the Capital, and from Ayios Andreas (Saint Andrew), the new central port, to Livadi with its large sandy beach! Local buses operate pretty regularly during the summer months; nearly every 30 minutes.
TAXIS
Οn the island there are two taxis ready to serve you all day long. Contact them early and they will take you safely even to remote beaches depending on the road condition.
