The traditional square of the Invisible Sailor

It was constructed in honour of the dearly departed sailors and adorns the island for 6 decades. The lovers of ocean travel will not regret daydreaming by his side.
The impressive Kaireios Library
A visit is imposed to the Kaireios Library, especially for philologists and bookworms, and includes 85.000 volumes, among which it has rare editions and manuscripts, and works of art as well. There are taking place organised activities and exhibitions in the summer. Do not miss it!
The impressive Tower of Agios Petros
One thing dominates the meadow of Gavrio and this is the Tower of Agios Petros. This cylindrical building with a spiral staircase on the inside was probably built for checking the ships, hence its special location. It is well-preserved for its time, as it constitutes the basic ornament of Andros for more than 2300 years.
The wild “Foros” cave
If you desire to get some adventure during your vacations, we highly recommended you to visit the Foros cave in the village of Aladinou. Some claim, that it took its name from the Italian word “foros”, which means “opening”, while others believe that it was named after the locals who thought that every time they were losing an animal there, they paid a tax to a bad spirit. One thing is for sure, the gloomy cinematographic atmosphere inside the cave with the stalactites and stalagmites will fascinate even the most demanding explorers. Be appropriately equipped and venture into the depths of the cave.
The dynamic Pythara waterfalls
Andros is not surrounded by water only from the external but from the inner part as well. At Apikia, in the creek of Pythara, there are impetuous waterfalls, in a location that according to tradition, was inhabited by fairies. Today is inhabited by many animals and has many plants that contribute to the natural wealth. Enjoy the wild beauty in this point of Andros which seems like it came out of a fairytale, and clear your mind while listening to the gurgling water.
