Andros Beaches
Achla Beach is the most famous beach on the island of Andros and one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece. It is a landscape full of tranquility with emerald waters, white pebbles, and sand. Neiborio and Paraporti beaches are located next to the capital of Andros, and for this reason, they have the easiest access from Chora. The beach of Agios Petros is the largest beach in Andros and is organized with sunbeds, cafes, restaurants, and family taverns. Other beautiful beaches on our island are Zorkos, Vitali, Piso Gialia, Achla, the jump of the Old Woman, the Warehouses, and Syneti.

As our family comes from the island of Andros, we can bring you in contact with the locals for the above.

A unique lighthouse in Europe, built on a rock in the sea, it is the first automatic lighthouse in Greece and serves as the island's trademark.
