The Path Leads Us To The Hidden Gems Of Andros Island
You know all about the major attractions of Andros; but truly getting to know this gorgeous island means exploring every secret corner, its hidden gems and treasures that give it all its character. Let’s take a look in the stops around Andros Island that will add zing to your explorations and offer a genuine experience. The Path Leads Us To The Hidden Gems Of Andros Island:
Starting with the verdant nature of Andros, the valley of Achlas River which springs in Zenio in Mt Petalo and ends in Achla Beach is a true gem for those who love hiking. Along the way one comes across the majestic arched bridge of Varidi, as well as several mills and fountains. Near Vourkoti, Gerolimni, a small lake with a waterfall hidden in the rock is a diving spot known to just a few, whereas the valley of Evrouses near Apoikia is yet another breathtaking path through the wondrous nature of Andros.
Just a few kilometers outside of Chora, lies the Cave of Aladino, or Foros, one of the first caves to be found in Greece and a marvelous site of stalactites and stalagmites worth exploring.
Now, for another unusual and known-to-few attraction, the palaiochristian church of Agios Ioannis Theologos at Korthi is not only one of the oldest and best preserved monuments of the island, but also features a unique spectacle, a cypress tree that sprouted of the churches rooftop beams! Overlooking Gavrio, the tower of Saint Peter is another attraction showcasing the rich heritage of Andros. Built in the 3rd century, this five stored tower is a vital piece of history, offering amazing views to its visitors and a glimpse eras of legend, of myth and memory, or as we like to call it, the true soul of Andros.
