Andros
Greece | tourist holiday travel guide
to Andros
Andros or
Hora, as it is locally called, is
the capital of the island and, beyond any challenge, the nicest
town. The mid-ages style houses, the neo-classical and
island-type ones, in addition to the narrow alleys, the museums
and the beaches, are the main attractions for every visitor.
Close to Hora is Messaria, the medieval center
of the island, with Taxiarchis Michail, an important Byzantine
church built in 1158. Menites is an all-green village with lots
of waters, gardens and big plane-trees. Stenies will impress
you, since it is one of the most beautiful villages of the
island having lovely mansions. Higher above lies Apikia,
well-known thanks to Sariza natural spring and Pithara as well,
an ecosystem of great natural beauty with lakes and waterfalls.

The southern part of the
island is dominated by Ormos, a quiet picturesque village
with a large beach. At close distance is Aidonia, with the tower-houses,
Piso Meria, lovely Korthi, Kaparia, Alamania, Chones. Moving higher,
towards the impressive Faneromeni Castle, we will find Piskopio, Lardia,
Gianiseo Mesa and Exo Vouni and Kochylou. At the end of "Dipotamata"
valley is situated Syneti.
The Monument of
Inconspicuous Sailor shows the Naval Fights of the island, as well as
its nautical progress.
In the Archaeological
Museum are kept artifacts of the Classical, Hellenistic, Roman,
Byzantine and Post-Byzantine Periods as well as signs and artifacts of
the Ottoman Domination Period.
The ruins of the Venetian
Castle which was constructed by Marinos Dandolos, are situated in the
entry of the harbour.
The house and the statue
of the philosopher Theofilos Kairis.
The Temple of Saint Peter
in Paleopoli, is a monument of the Medieval Era. Its round tower is
twenty meter high.
The Medieval Castle and
the Spring of Sariza in which water is bottled for commercial purpose,
in Apoikia.
The Monastery of Saint
Nicolaos in Gavrio with ecclesiastical utensils and embroideries of
great historical value.
The Modern Art Museum of
Vassilis and Eliza Goulandris is also in Gavrio
The main resort town is Batsi on the western coast which is popular with Greek tourists.
The island is famous for its mineral springs at Apoikia where the water comes out of a lionhead.
Palaeopolis, the ancient capital is mostly underwater.
Stenies, on the island's eastern coast near the beaches of Yialia and Piso Yialia, is probably the island's most picturesque village. However, the east coast of the island is not famed for its welcoming attitude to tourists, and historically, steps have been made to stem the flow of visitors, that have altered the landscape of neighbouring islands (notably Mykonos). There are no commercial distractions in Stenies.
