"Pros: Everything! Cons: I loved everything" ~Gabriella

"Pros: Where do I even begin? Staying at Chrysalis Boutique Hotel in Astypalea was hands down the best travel experience of my life. This place is not just a hotel — it’s a whole vibe, a feeling, a memory I’ll treasure forever. From the moment I arrived, everything felt taken care of. The hotel offers a shuttle service from the port or airport, which made things super smooth. And from there… it just kept getting better. The views are absolutely insane — like movie-scene levels of gorgeous. The hotel itself is spotless, beautifully designed, and just radiates peaceful energy. It’s also perfectly located: super close to the center, but quiet enough that you still feel like you're in your own private little Greek paradise. You can walk to town or take the local bus (they even help you set it up on your phone — shoutout to that next-level guest service!). Speaking of the team: Giannis is hilarious, super helpful and full of great local tips. And the rest of the staff? Kind, thoughtful, always making sure you're happy. I was traveling solo and they made me feel so cared for — never once alone. There were little surprises too, like a beautiful rosé wine with fresh fruit left in my room halfway through my stay... just because. Who does that? They do. Because they care. Honestly, if I could rate it 11/10, I would. It’s not just a hotel — it’s an experience, and one I wish I could bottle up and carry with me everywhere. To the entire team at Chrysalis: thank you for making me feel so welcome, so seen, and so special. You made this solo traveler feel like she had a whole family waiting for her in Astypalea. I’m already dreaming of coming back." ~Carla
