To arrange a visit on a different day and time, please contact the museum. Don't be put off by the name 'museum', this is not a sterile exhibition of dusty artefacts but a carefully restored Cycladic olive mill. The attention to detail in the restoration is incredible and this alongside a video presentation and a personal talk by the owner make this a really special and informative experience. It is the best preserved animal powered old olive mill in Andros island. The mill was restored and transformed into museum, in order to offer to every visitor, regardless of age, the option to come close to the underling culture of the valuable product and to get familiar with the old traditional techniques of olive oil production as well. Besides they can see the traditional technics of constructing buildings in Cyclades through the centuries.

A wonderful cave in Andros and a must for all who like to spend their vacation doing something more than lying at the beach. Augustina, our guide gave us an extraordinary tour and answered all of our answers. We definitely recommend it.

This is a remote beach reached on foot with a spectacular rock sculpture in the middle of the beach naturally made by the winds and sea waves. You can reach it either by car and foot from the main road or by a nice and easy 45 minutes walk from the golf of Korthi.

In July 1979 the Basil and Elise Goulandris Foundation inaugurated the Museum of Contemporary Art in Hora, capital of Andros and birthplace of Basil P. Goulandris. In the two wings of the Museum a part of the Foundation’s collection is exhibited throughout most of the year. Each summer, since 1986, the Foundation has been organising temporary Exhibitions of distinguished 20th-century artists in the Museum of Contemporary Art on Andros. The Basil and Elise Goulandris Foundation has built up a significant art collection of important 20th-century Greek and international artists. This collection comprises the core of the Museum of Contemporary Art on Andros. The increasing attendance of the Athenian public and the inhabitants of Andros led to the Museum’s expansion to a new wing, which was completed in 1986. Moreover, the Foundation has made provisions for the construction, equipment and enrichment of a new Museum of Contemporary Art in Athens.

When we visited the featured exhibition was the work of George Zongolopoulos, not someone I'd heard of before, but who seems well known for large scale sculptures in public spaces. His smaller works and models of umbrellas on fixed wires viewed through huge magnifying lenses were certainly interesting. In the gallery below there was a eclectic selection of paintings, some very striking, which were mostly from the permanent collection. The separate wing devoted to local sculptor Michalis Tombros was well done.
All in all, it was an absorbing way to spend half a morning and the island is lucky to have a gallery of this quality.

We had also the oppurtunity to see a sword fish. Super!

This is a very nice area, it is worth the trip there. Once you get there, (the road is ok but then gets tough but any car can drive there), you are faced with a lovely little church, typical sight of Greece, which still maintains its religious character unlike other european countries I have visited. There are two Beaches there, one with some umbrellas and the other without. We chose to go to the one without any umbrellas cause we found it more picturesque. The water was not very cold (it was in August), there was luckily for us no wind (wind in Andros is a huge problem), and the sea was not deep. Great for those who can not swim like me. The rocks around the beach offer shadow and we sat there to have a Sandwich before departing. It was a great day.

We are a group of people that love this island although not all of us were born here. We live, study, walk, swim and research constantly realizing how valuable this island’s nature and culture is. This is how an idea is born to combine research and actions-creative and entertaining- recognizing that tourism may benefit a place if developed in a proper scale and managed accordingly… Andros paths

We did 3 walks during the 6 days of our stay. Apart from the Livadia circular, the walks are rather up and down hill with many steps. Tremendous views make the effort worthwhile. We did have some issues with overgrown vegetation, but mostly managed to make our way through or divert slightly. The routes are well marked, lots of interesting features and great wildlife. It's probably a good idea to buy a map though.

We visited on a windy day in the effort to get away from the coast. After a short and reasonably easy 10 minute walk we got to the Waterfalls. They are not huge but very lovely and in a peaceful and sheltered area.
