Northern Andros Off-Road Adventure: Beekeeping, Lighthouse & Wild Beaches
Discover the raw, untamed beauty of Northern Andros on an immersive off-road adventure through wild landscapes, hidden beaches, and authentic local traditions.
Meet your local guide in Gavrio and board a comfortable 4×4 vehicle for a journey into one of the most pristine regions of the Cyclades. The route climbs through remote farmland, oak forests, and rugged hillsides before reaching some of Andros’ most iconic northern highlights.
Your off-road adventure begins with a visit to a small, family-run apiary tucked into the hills of Northern Andros. Here you step into the world of local beekeeping: observing the hives safely, learning about Andros’ long tradition of honey production, and tasting fresh honeys and natural bee products straight from the source. It’s a warm, authentic encounter with one of the island’s most cherished crafts.
Leaving the apiary behind, the route climbs toward the dramatic Fassa Lighthouse. Perched on rugged cliffs above the Aegean, this remote viewpoint offers sweeping panoramas and a rare sense of the island’s wild, untouched character. It’s the perfect pause to take in the silence, the sea, and the raw landscape that defines northern Andros.
The journey continues as the 4×4 descends through rocky terrain toward a string of pristine beaches. Mikri Peza, Megali Peza, Pissolimnionas, and finally Zorgos greet you with turquoise waters, soft sand, and a sense of solitude found only in places far from the road. Here you can swim, relax, and enjoy a simple seaside picnic prepared by your guide — a refreshing break in one of the island’s most remote coastal corners.
