Visit Andros: the 7 Must-See attractions<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Gavrio<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gavrio<\/strong> is the 1st place you will see during your stay in Andros. If you take the ferry from Athens <\/strong>or from another Greek Island,<\/strong> you\u2019ll arrive in Gavrio, as it\u2019s the island\u2019s main port.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When visiting this typical small Cycladic port, you will find many restaurants and taverns, souvenir shops, <\/strong>banks, car rental agencies<\/strong> and even a supermarket.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gavrio is a really pleasant and calm village,<\/strong> even if it gets busier every time a ferry boat arrives!<\/p>\n

2. Batsi<\/strong><\/p>\n

Batsi<\/strong> is the most popular tourist destination<\/strong> in Andros.<\/p>\n

This seaside resort<\/strong> is located 7km South of Gavrio, on the slopes of a hill and above a pretty bay.<\/strong> As most Andros\u2019 tourists are staying in Batsi, you will find here many restaurants, shops and hotels.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You should really take a stroll on Batsi\u2019s beautiful waterfront<\/strong>: you will love this charming fishing port.<\/p>\n

Right next to the village, you will find a nice sand beach<\/strong>. There, you can rent deckchairs and umbrellas. It\u2019s a great place to take a dip after a day exploring the island!<\/p>\n

Voyage Tips – Advice<\/strong><\/p>\n

From the Batsi, drive along the coastal road to Paleopolis<\/strong> (an ancient Acropolis from the Neolithic Era). This road offers splendid views<\/strong> of the Aegean Sea.<\/p>\n

3. Andros or Hora<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hora<\/strong> (also named \u201cAndros\u201d, like the island) is the island\u2019s capital.<\/strong> It\u2019s clearly the village you have to visit in Andros!<\/p>\n

Unlike in most Cycladic villages, you won\u2019t find here the typical white washed houses with blue shutters. In Hora, most houses were built in a neoclassical architecture<\/strong> with red tiles roofs.<\/strong> These mansions were owned by rich Greek shipowners<\/strong> who came to Andros for its calm.<\/p>\n

When visiting Hora, wander in the main street,<\/strong> starting from the upper city. On this pedestrian street<\/strong> paved with marble, you will enjoy many shops and typical Greek taverns.<\/strong> Don\u2019t miss Kairi Square,<\/strong> a nice shaded square with a large marble fountain from the Ottoman period. It\u2019s a great place to have a drink on a terrace.<\/p>\n

Follow the main street<\/strong> to arrive at the seaside. There, you will see the remains of an ancient Venetian Castle<\/strong> from the 13th century, built on a small rock. With its small broken stone bridge, it\u2019s a lovely place to take pictures.<\/p>\n

In Hora, you can also visit 2 great museums:<\/strong><\/p>\n
