General presentation
Andros
Greener and mountainous Cyclade, with marked trails, springs, neoclassical villages, long beaches and easy access from Rafina.
The discovery of Andros revolves around Chora d'Andros, Batsi and Paths of Andros. The stay thus alternates between the island landscapes, the coastline, the mountain reliefs and the natural spaces, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: mountain roads and Aegean wind. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Town or village
Chora d'Andros
Chora d'Andros It stretches on a ridge between two beaches, with neoclassical houses, narrow squares, museums and views to the sea. Its discreet elegance contrasts with the more touristic ports, and the surrounding green valleys remind that Andros is a Cyclade of water and trails.
Town or village
Batsi
Batsi is a coastal village in amphitheatre, set around a protected bay with beach, docks and taverns. It often serves as a beach base on Andros, more relaxed than Chora, with easy access to western roads and nearby coves.
Town or village
Sentiers d'Andros
The paths of Andros Cross fresh valleys, walls, mills, villages and springs, in a much greener than expected Cyclade. The marked network is particularly suitable for walkers who want to connect beaches, monasteries and hamlets without depending solely on the road.
