Andros, with an area of 374 km², is the second largest island of the Cyclades and due to many sources, streams and even waterfalls it has a lush vegetation. It is a wonderful hiking destination. Beach lovers can also indulge themselves, because the rugged coastline offers beautiful beaches, sometimes in hidden bays, where you have the place to yourself. The history of Andros goes back to prehistoric times. In several places remains from ancient times have been excavated and some beautiful churches and monasteries from the Byzantine period are well preserved.
Andros has no airport and therefore it is not overrun by tourists. In fact it is easily accessible. It has a regular ferry connection to and from Rafina on the mainland of Greece, not far from the airport of Athens.
