Choose one or more and let it lead you to the heart of the island at its interior, if you wish to see its cherished beauties besides the shores with the crystal clear waters.

If you are not a sporty person and you would rather relax at the beach, the island has a large variety with the ones in the north side of the island being the best. Due to their orientation, they are usually very windy beaches, like Zorkos beach, but nonetheless they are most definitely worthy of your preference. The island’s main town -Chora- will also enchant you, as it perfectly combines the plain Cycladic architecture, with the neoclassical mansion houses and the Venetian tower houses.

Whichever type of person you are, you will feel that Andros island indeed has it all. As far as nightlife is concerned, visit the area of Batsi for a fun, summery night out.
