Maistrali — Hotel in Municipality of Astypalaia

After attempting to dine at another local restaurant and being ignored by the service staff, we decided on Maistrali and boy are we glad we did. We received top notch service from the owner couple. The wife provided great menu recommendations and even took my husband into the kitchen for him to choose a fresh fish from the refrigerator.

Two main meals and a litre of white wine came to €37. Amazing value, we can highly recommend this...

We didn’t stay at the hotel. No...
