Andros Island

We chose to stay on the lesser-known island Andros for the first part of our two week holiday. Andros is after Naxos the second largest of the Cycladic islands. It has less than 10.000 inhabitants and is one of the quieter Greek islands. And that was exactly what we wanted. Beautiful beaches, nice restaurants, not much to do and see, hiking paths and some wifi. The weather, however, didn’t play ball and after one stunningly beautiful day at the beach with turquoise waters and only a handful of other tourists, the winds started to pick up and the rain came along too. So we had to look out for things to do besides sunbathing... Hiking was definitely an option, but due to the strong winds, only inland hiking was possible. Driving around and visiting the Harbour and coastal towns was another option and we explored this a bit too... This island is made for summer really. When the sun stays away, there is not a whole lot you can do besides sleeping, reading and eating. Which was good for the week we stayed!
