Venetian Castle Bridge in<br />
Andros Chora<br />
Andros offers 300km (186 miles) of trails for all levels from<br />
casual hikers to mountain climbers. It’s ideal for outdoor<br />
wellness and a digital detox, offering a more authentic experience<br />
than visitors often encounter on the more touristy Greek islands.<br />
The impressive neoclassical architecture of Andros Chora has<br />
been home to many Greek shipping magnates over the past few<br />
centuries. Chora’s Pedestrian Street is lined with great restaurants<br />
like Endochora and cafes like Fresco Juice Bar. Purchase local<br />
artisan products like honey, olive oil, wine, figs and jams from<br />
boutique shops. Visit Zairis Patisserie for fantastic Greek pastries<br />
and unique creamy homemade ice cream flavors like mastiha.<br />
Tourlitis Lighthouse, built in 1897 atop a tiny rock island, is one<br />
of the most iconic images of Andros. It’s a whimsical lighthouse<br />
with winding stairs leading to the base of the tower.<br />
No trip to Greece is complete without visiting<br />
a Greek island! There are around 6,000 islands<br />
in Greece, 227 of which are inhabited. Autumn<br />
offers an opportunity to visit popular islands<br />
like Santorini, Rhodes, Mykonos, Crete, Hydra,<br />
Naxos and Paros, with fewer crowds and better<br />
deals.<br />
Off the typical tourist trail, Andros is the closest<br />
Cyclades island to Athens. Just a 2-hour ferry<br />
ride from Athens’ port of Rafina, it’s the second<br />
largest Cyclades island. It’s popular with Greek<br />
tourists in summer, but lesser known among<br />
international visitors.<br />
Climb the old Venetian bridge, part of a Venetian Castle that was<br />
bombed during World War II. The sweeping views of Andros<br />
Chora and Tourlitis Lighthouse from the small island over the<br />
Venetian Bridge are fantastic.<br />
Situated along Kypri Beach, Andros, all 44 of Hotel Perrakis’<br />
rooms have balconies overlooking the Aegean Sea. It’s a<br />
charming setting to relax while watching the sunset.<br />
Set amongst stunning scenery, ancient history and one of the<br />
world’s best culinary scenes, Greek thermal spas are ideal for<br />
a fall wellness getaway to relax and rejuvenate your mind and<br />
body. Consider getting off the beaten path, while taking a break<br />
from your phone to ponder ancient history, enjoy picturesque<br />
hiking trails, and take in stunning vistas around Greece!<br />
Whimsical Tourlitis Lighthouse<br />
in Andros, Greece was<br />
completed in 1897<br />
