5Andros

Due to Andros’ close proximity to Athens (a quick two-hour ferry), it’s becoming a more frequented island stop along the Cyclades, and rightfully so.

Andros is also a hiker’s paradise as there is an abundance of lush valleys, scenic mountain peaks, and rivers to explore around Menites village. If it’s traditional villages and tavernas you’re after, you’re also in luck. Get lost exploring the fusion of Venetian, Byzantine, and Ottoman architecture of the island’s main village, Chora. Then end your day in the charming fishing village of Batsi, topped off with a seaside sunset and dinner at Agia Marina or Aegean Balcony.
