Mouras Resort

Wonderful
Traveller Type: Traveling as Couple
  : We loved our 3 night stay and would recommend Mouras Resort to anyone staying on Astypalaia. The two floor apartment was spacious with both a private garden and a roof terrace. We were given lots of different local specialities for breakfast by the pool. The manager, Iokasti, was so helpful in arranging transfers, car hire and recommending places to visit and eat. The local thyme honey is delicious and Iokasti kindly got us some from her supplier. The little beach resort of Livadi is a short walk away. There are several nice tavernas and a beach bar with a wonderful view across the bay to Astypalaia's hora and Kastro. You could easily spend several relaxing days doing not very much at all but a wander round the flower filled alleys of hora is a must. We hired a car so we could see as much of the island as possible. We travelled in June when there were not too many tourists.
  : Absolutely nothing about Mouras. After the golden sandy beaches of Naxos, we found the Astypalaia beaches a bit disappointing but all islands are different and the spectacular hora more than makes up for it.
