Andros - Chora
Andros, although an island of the Cyclades, it's pretty unique. Unlike the rest of the Cyclades, which are full of white houses with blue shutters, Andros Town is full of neoclassical and tower mansions. These were built by the captains in the late 19th and early 20th century and show the intense economic prosperity of the time. The historical and cultural elements of the country of Andros are also important.
You can find many museums with wonderful architecture in the center of Chora. Among others, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Andros, the Archaeological Museum of Andros, and also the Naval Museum of Andros. During your visit to Chora, Andros it is also worth seeing its ecclesiastical monuments. Panagia Theoskepasti, who is also the saint of the island, is perhaps the most important. Also, the Assumption of the Virgin, the Virgin Mary Palatiani and the metropolitan church of Agios Georgios, are monuments worth visiting.
Andros - Morphology and nature
Andros is the second-largest island of the Cyclades after Naxos. It is also the northernmost island of the Cyclades and full of beautiful beaches.
