Andros

Andros is a vast and mountainous island. It is the most fertile of all the archipelago of the Cyclades. Its surface area is 380 km2. Located between Euboea and Tinos, it is the most northerly island of the archipelago and also one of the largest.

The architecture is very different from other islands. The houses are large, neoclassical in style and with roofs covered with tiles. Andros is quite spared by tourism. The island is relatively fertile and wooded compared to its neighbors and has many springs, the water of one of which is even exported.

In ancient times Andros was famous for its wine. The island is dedicated to Dionysus. Regularly, the water from springs under his temple would have changed into wine.
