Astypalaia (Greek: Αστυπάλαια, pronounced[astiˈpalea]), is a Greek island with 1,334 residents (2011 census). It belongs to the Dodecanese, an archipelago of fifteen major islands in the southeastern Aegean Sea. However, many scholars recognize Astypalaia as an extension of the Cyclades, as many cultural[2] and ecological[3] components of the island are more indicative of the Cyclades rather than the Dodecanese.
The island is 18 kilometres (11 miles) long, 13 kilometres (8 miles) across at its widest, and covers an area of 97 km2.[4] Along with numerous smaller uninhabited offshore islets (the largest of which are Sýrna and Ofidoussa), it forms the Municipality of Astypalaia, which is part of the Kalymnos regional unit. The municipality has an area of 114.077 km2.[5] The capital and the previous main harbour of the island is Astypalaia or Chora, as it is called by the locals.
