Kostas Kampylis, Deputy Mayor of Astypalaia, spoke about life on the island beyond its tourist image, the challenges of island life, sustainable development, and the vision of an Astypalaia that continues to evolve without losing its authentic identity.
The program also featured Tasos Bimpisidis, co-organizer of the Tsoula Festival, who discussed the festival’s philosophy and explained how the idea was born for an event that brings together people, art, and culture, transforming Astypalaia into a place of creativity and meaningful experiences.
Through the perspectives of its two guests, the program highlighted a different side of Astypalaia: an island with a rich history, a vibrant community, and people who invest in its future every day, demonstrating that every journey has the power to change the way we see a place—and, ultimately, the world around us.
