A Day of Natural Wonders, Historic Villages & Island Culture
Explore the best of Andros
A fantastic way out to the heart of Andros.
Discover the essence of Andros in a half-day guided tour that blends lush landscapes, traditional villages, and seaside charm. Travel in comfort by minivan with a local guide and explore the island’s most iconic and beautiful locations—starting from either Chora (Andros Town) or Batsi.

Your tour begins in Chora or Batsi, depending on your preferred starting point. We travel inland, winding through fertile valleys and terraced hillsides toward Apoikia, home to the renowned Sariza Spring, where locals still collect drinking water. A short nature walk leads us to the nearby Pythara Waterfalls, a peaceful spot surrounded by dense vegetation.
The journey continues to Arni, a hidden mountain village wrapped in chestnut and walnut trees, then on to Vourkoti, one of the highest and most remote settlements on the island. We pass through the valley of Menites, known for its plane tree-shaded springs and stone lion-head fountains, before visiting Pitrofos, a rural village where time seems to stand still.
From there, the tour concludes depending on your base: if you started in Chora, we return for a guided stroll through its neoclassical quarter, past the Statue of the Unseen Sailor, and out to the iconic Tourlitis Lighthouse viewpoint. If you began in Batsi, the return offers time to enjoy its seaside cafés, beach, and traditional architecture.
