THE ISLAND
Action and adventure in Andros
Andros is a very convenient holiday destination, being the closest Cycladic Island to Athens, a mere 2 hour boat ride from the port of Rafina. It’s an island that still preserves its authenticity. The mountainous landscapes with the scenic routes are ideal for hiking and the lovely sandy beaches with the emerald waters are certainly alluring. Andros, being the second largest island in the Cyclades after Naxos, is of unbelievably diverse natural beauty and it’s the only Cycladic Island with natural waterfalls.
