'''[[Astipalea]]''' (or '''Astypalea''' or '''Astypalaia''', '''Αστυπάλαια''') is a [[Greece|Greek]] island with 1.238 residents (2001 Census). It belongs to the [[Dodecanese]], an island group of twelve major islands in the southeastern [[Aegean Sea]]. The coasts of Astypalea are rocky with many small pebly beaches. A small band of land of roughly 10 kilometres, almost separates the island in two sections. The capital and main harbour of the island is [[Astypalea (city)|Astypalea]] or Hora, as it is called by the locals. Astypalea has ferry connections with [[Piraeus]] and the other islands of the Dodecanese and flight connections with [[Athens]].

		+	==History==
		+	There is evidence that Astypalaia was colonised in the Minoan era. Later, the island would be colonised by settlers from [[Megara]]. It shared the fate of the other [[Dodecanese]] islands throughout the Roman and Byzantine periods and was captured by the Venetians in the early 13th century. The Venetians were succeeded by the Ottoman Turks in the 16th century.
		+
		+	Astypalaia participated in the Greek [[War of Independence]] of [[1821]] but was left out of the Greek state when independence was actually achieved nine years later. It was taken by the Italians in [[1911]] ands was finally freed and became part of [[Greece]], after [[World War II]].
