OVERVIEW

Andros is a large island in the northern Cyclades of Greece, with a wetter and greener landscape than many neighbouring islands. Mountain ridges, springs and cultivated valleys separate beaches and villages across the coast and interior. The main port is practical and busy, while the island capital contains neoclassical houses, museums and a long maritime tradition. Walking routes connect old bridges, monasteries and rural settlements.

Independent exploration reveals more than a single-resort stay. Beaches range from easy family options to remote coves reached by rough roads or footpaths, and the interior has some of the best marked hiking routes in the Cyclades. Settlements are widely spread, making a car useful. Farming and maritime history remain visible beyond summer tourism.

Find Andros’ coastline
