Andros Greece, Cyclades: A collection of pictures in the island of Andros

The island of Andros is the northernmost island of the Cyclades. It is also the second largest after Naxos and the greenest of the group.

The island produces citrus fruits and olives and is the only island of the Cyclades to have pine forests, mulberry woods and numerous water sources.

The capital of the island is called Hora; it is a really attractive village paved in marble and schist, with old neoclassical mansions, squares with ornate wall fountains, whitewashed houses and narrow alleyways shadowed by arcades.

The fine sandy beaches and coves of Andros are concentrated on the western coast, between the port, Gavrio, and Paleopolis Bay and on the eastern coast, near the capital of the island.

A few beaches can also be found on the northern coast, in the Gulf of Vitali and in Cape Gria.

The most organised beaches are the one located near the capital and near the main port; they propose umbrellas and sun beds rentals as well as various sea sports facilities. The other ones are left to their natural beauty, totally unspoiled.
