So close to the big city, yet a world away
The northernmost of the Cyclades, the island of Andros is a popular vacation destination for both tourists and locals looking for a quick weekend getaway, thanks to its close proximity to Athens. But while it may be the closest to the mainland of the famous Greek Isles, you'll find anything but big city life here. Quaint villages and stunning mansions are sprinkled among a picturesque landscape of waterfalls, natural springs, and mountains. The terrain is top-notch, drawing hikers from around the world. Whether you join them or not, you'll enjoy plenty of fresh air at an Andros vacation rental.
Whatever your interest, there's a museum for it here
One thing's for sure: opting for an Andros vacation rental means there'll be no shortage of sightseeing for you. There's the beautiful village of Chora and the ancient capital, Palaeopolis, and beyond that you'll find 4 Byzantine monasteries, all featuring notable icons, as well as a 13th-century Venetian castle and the ancient Aladino Cave. And then there are all the museums. You'll find 2 archaeological museums, a couple of folklore museums, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Goulandris Museum of Modern Art, and even an olive museum. Be sure to stop by the Sariza spring to see if the waters springing from a lion's head really do have curative properties.
A mecca for hikers in the picture-perfect Greek Isles
Unique among the Greek Isles that are world-famous for their pristine beaches, Andros is full of mountains that make for world-class hiking. The countless trails will take you past waterfalls, historic bridges, rivers, and even a natural spring or two. But don't worry—there are still plenty of beaches, too. Some are great for swimming and working on your tan, like Golden Beach or Agios Petros, while others, like Agios Kiprianos, are ideal for fishing. You can even try your hand at windsurfing off the shores of Ormos beach.
Climb every mountain and ford every stream
Andros stands out from the other islands in the Cyclades due to its mountainous terrain, which makes it ideal for hiking and other outdoor activities. An Andros vacation rental will surround you with nature at every turn, from glittering waterfalls, to natural springs, to verdant valleys. You'll also find caves, ponds, and even a ravine that the locals call "Fairy Land." You should also expect to encounter rare plants, plenty of birds, and an abundance of colorful wildflowers. Of course, it's not all rocky—the island has its fair share of beaches, sunsets, and sea views to enjoy.
