The Archaeological Museum of Astypalaia is housed in the ground floor room that was given to the Ministry of Culture by the Ecclesiastical Charity Fund of Astypalaia in 1994. The exhibition was planned in 1995-1996. In the years that followed it was improved and enriched with a special audio-visual program. The museum was inaugurated in September 1998. The exhibition includes findings that cover a wide chronological range from the prehistoric times to the Middle Ages.

This is a place of archaeological interest because of the Roman baths. The floor is decorated with geometric shapes and there is also a royal, paleo Christian chair.

It is worth visiting the Baths of Talaras, where you can see wonderful mosaics from the Hellenistic era. At the center of this mosaic, there is the personification of Time who is holding the globe as well as representations of the zodiac and the four seasons. The Baths were built in the Late Roman period (3rd – 4th century BC).

The Church of Panagia Portaitissa is considered one of the most beautiful churches in the Dodecanese. It was founded in the 18th century at the entrance of the castle (position Rodia). It was built in the honor of Panagia Portaitissa and legend has it that the icon found in the church was “drawn” by itself the moment it was placed on wood.
