Villages Korthi and Stenies are two of the most representative settlements of the island: Korthi is small, touristic and a windsurfers’ favorite, while Stenies is traditional and unspoiled.

Art lovers will be thrilled by a visit to the Museum of Contemporary Art, an internationally renowned cultural space at Andros’ Chora, that every summer hosts important exhibitions.

Visit the partly preserved ancient city of Paleopolis (the island’s former capital), the ancient settlement of Zagora and the medieval village of Mesaria, with its tower houses and byzantine church.

Take a walk at the two main squares of Chora, platia Kairi and platia Riva, where you’ll see the trademark statue of Afanis Naftis (aka “The Unknown Sailor”) that overlooks the Aegean. Another must-see is the Venetian castle Mesa Kastro, located on an islet connected with Chora with a small arched stone bridge.
