Andros Island, Cyclades, Greece

Andros Island, Cyclades, Greece Welcome to Andros Island! Like us in order to find out more about our exotic beaches! Andros. Andros has many top quality beaches that suit all tastes.

Just two hours from the port of Rafina (Athens), Andros is the greenest of the Cyclades islands as well as the second-largest Cycladic destination and it’s full of surprises. Where else could you find Venetian castles, unspoiled exotic (organised or non-organised) beaches, rushing rivers and watermills, picturesque villages, a world-class modern art museum, grand mansions as well as well-marked h

iking trails, local delicacies and a great range of tourist services (accommodation, restaurants, café- bars and many more)? A network of well-marked awarded hiking paths of dozens of kilometres covers the island. There are fully organized, easily accessible and ideal beaches for families, but also secluded ones. Some with cold crystal waters and others much warmer. There are also plenty sandy beaches, as well as rocky ones for those who love fishing. Further information for the top 28 beaches of the island can be found below. Andros, unlike the other islands of Cyclades, is ideal for hiking due to its mountainous nature and the variety of springs that offer a unique experience. In recent years, there has been a systematic effort by the "Andros Routes" network (www.androsroutes.gr) to record, maintain and promote these routes. These actions have increased the number of foreign (mainly) visitors who love this form of tourism. In October 2015 The European Ramblers’ Association granted Andros΄ Paths as “Leading Quality Trails - Best of Europe”. This label hides a special system of criteria that takes care of the needs of hikers, makes the attractiveness of trails tangible and thereby guarantees a high standard. One Foot Forward Travel (www.onefootforward.gr) is another network of people and enterprises who love nature, look at life holistically and promote responsible eco-tourism. Andros is, without a doubt, an island of culture and art. Many Andriots excelled in literature and arts, with greater example that of poet Andreas Embirikos. Another exceptional personality was Theophilos Kairis, one of the greatest Greek intellectuals of the 19th century, or Michael Dertouzos, professor at M.I.T. USA, who is considered as the "father" of Information Technology (IT). Andros still pertains its rich cultural tradition, offering to the public the opportunity to visit several museums and foundations. Every summer, it hosts numerous events that attract thousands of visitors. On the island of Andros you can visit significant monasteries dating from the Byzantine period to the last years of the Ottoman Empire. Some of them have been recently renovated. All of them are of exceptional interest, as they preserve important relics. Andros is famous for its local cuisine and products. Particularly famous are the froutalia (omelette with sausages), the sweet tights (with honey, walnut and pine nuts) and the patsitsakia (baked almond kernels). There are excellent local meats and cheeses, while women's clubs make pasta, pastries and liqueurs.

H Άνδρος έχει πολλές και εξαιρετικής ποιότητας παραλίες, που ικανοποιούν όλα τα γούστα. Παραλίες για οικογένειες, πλήρως οργανωμένες και εύκολα προσβάσιμες, αλλά και παραλίες απομονωμένες. Παραλίες με κρύα (έως κρυστάλλινα) νερά και άλλες, αρκετά πιο ζεστές. Παραλίες με πλούσια άμμο, αλλά και βότσαλα και βράχια για όσους λατρεύουν το ψάρεμα. Εδώ θα βρείτε πληροφορίες για τις 28 σημαντικότερες παραλίες του νησιού.

Ιδανικό νησί για πεζοπορία θεωρείται η Άνδρος, καθώς -σε αντίθεση με τα υπόλοιπα νησιά των Κυκλάδων- η ορεινή της φύση και η πληθώρα πηγών προσφέρουν μοναδικές εμπειρίες στους λάτρεις της πεζοπορίας. Τον Οκτώβριο του 2015, μάλιστα, εξασφάλισε το σήμα πιστοποίησης για τα μονοπάτια της από την Ευρωπαϊκή Συνομοσπονδία Πεζοπορικών Συλλόγων και είναι το μοναδικό νησί στην Ευρώπη που έχει εξασφαλίσει τη συγκεκριμένη πιστοποίηση. Το σήμα της πιστοποίησης ήρθε ως φυσική συνέπεια της συστηματικής προσπάθειας καταγραφής των διαδρομών και ανάδειξης των μονοπατιών από το δίκτυο “Διαδρομές Άνδρου” (www.androsrutes.gr).Το One Foot Forward Travel (www.onefootforward.gr) είναι ένα δίκτυο ανθρώπων και επιχειρήσεων που αγαπούν τη φύση, βλέπουν τη ζωή ολιστικά και προωθούν τον υπεύθυνο οικοτουρισμό.

Ως νησί του Πολιτισμού και της Τέχνης έχει χαρακτηρισθεί η Άνδρος, και όχι άδικα. Φωτεινά πνεύματα που διέπρεψαν στα γράμματα και τις τέχνες ήταν Ανδριώτες, με κορυφαίο βέβαια τον ποιητή Ανδρέα Εμπειρίκο. Ξεχωριστή μορφή ήταν ο Θεόφιλος Καΐρης, ένας από τους μεγαλύτερους Έλληνες πνευματικούς του 19ου αιώνα. Όπως και ο Μιχάλης Δερτούζος, καθηγητής στο Μ.Ι.Τ των Ηνωμένων Πολιτειών, που θεωρείται ο “πατέρας” της πληροφορικής. Πλούσια είναι και η σύγχρονη πολιτιστική παράδοση της Άνδρου, καθώς ο επισκέπτης έχει τη δυνατότητα να επισκεφθεί αρκετά μουσεία και ιδρύματα, ενώ κάθε καλοκαίρι διοργανώνεται πλήθος εκδηλώσεων, που προσελκύουν χιλιάδες επισκέπτες.

Στην Άνδρο μπορεί κανείς να επισκεφτεί αξιόλογα μοναστήρια που χρονολογούνται από τη Βυζαντινή περίοδο ως και τα τελευταία χρόνια της Οθωμανικής αυτοκρατορίας. Κάποια από αυτά έχουν ανακαινισθεί πρόσφατα. Όλα παρουσιάζουν εξαιρετικό ενδιαφέρον, καθώς σώζονται σε αυτά σημαντικά ιερά κειμήλια.

Η Άνδρος φημίζεται για την τοπική κουζίνα και τα προϊόντα της. Ιδιαίτερα διάσημα είναι η φρουτάλια (ομελέτα με λουκάνικα), τα γλυκά καλσούνια (με μέλι, καρύδι και κουκουνάρι) και τα πατσιτσάκια (ψημένη αμυγδαλόψιχα). Υπάρχουν εξαιρετικά ντόπια κρέατα και τυριά, ενώ γυναικείοι σύλλογοι φτιάχνουν ζυμαρικά, γλυκά κουταλιού και λικέρ.
