Greek Islands: Andros

Andros is touristy but fun. Lots to do and lots to see. The Cyclades islands are the most famous of the greek islands and visitors to Andros know why. The island is covered with lush pine forests and the local mineral water is of exceptional qiality.

Andros Weather

Andros has some truly some great restaurants hidden away in the in the small traditional villages in the hills above the costal resorts where the food can be variable..

Andros' main town is Gaviros , which juts out on a peninsula between two long beaches is abit of a treasure because it hasn't become spoilt by tourism, but offers plenty to see and do.

Most of the tourism is on the west of the island around Batsi. History buffs should head to Agios Petros tower which dates back to hellenistic times. Other than that and a couple of great museums, Andros is about its wonderful beaches.

Best Beaches on Andros

Hrysi Ammos or "Golden beach" is our favourite. It is a lovely sandy beach that never gets too packed with visitors.

Reviews of Andros

Gavrio

Gavrio (not Gaviros) is the name of the main port on Adros. I agree that Gavrio is just too beautiful for words. A lovely place for sitting drinking beer wine or uzo in the evening.

However, for the beach you cannot beat Korthios bay. Awesome sand, very save and shallow.
