7Andros – The Green Soul of the Cyclades
Lush, mountainous, and surprisingly fertile, Andros breaks the stereotype of barren Cycladic islands. Just two hours from Athens, it’s often overlooked, making it ideal for those craving beauty without bustle.
Known for its hiking trails that wind through waterfalls, stone bridges, and monasteries, Andros is a paradise for walkers and nature lovers. Its main town, Chora, is a mix of neoclassical mansions, marble fountains, and a maritime charm that reflects its seafaring history. Don’t miss the beaches of Tis Grias to Pidima and Zorkos, or the local amygdalota (almond sweets) that define Andros’ understated indulgence.
