HOTELS, APARTEMENTS AND STUDIOS ON THE ISLAND OF ANDROS IN GREECE

Andros, one of the largest and certainly the greenest of the Cyclades islands is not an island that is very much designed with touristic facilities. Here there are no people with signs at the port to offer accommodations when you arrive by ferry (at least I've never seen them). Most beds can be found in the village of Batsi and is in the shape of studios and apartments. In the village lies the largest sandy beach of the island and you will also find most of the amenities here, including a number of restaurants and two small supermarkets. Really super touristy it is not and it remains quiet. A little further you will find the beaches empty, and often they are very nice, clean and unspoiled. We spend most of our time on those kind of wonderful beaches, but Batsi Beach itself is usually also not very busy. Here there are some sun beds and sun parasols for rent. Accommodation in Gavrion I would not recommend, because of the atmosphere in the village and the beach here is not good. It is a place to take a look at, rent your car, and maybe by your ferry tickets. Below are a number of hotels, apartments and studios that you can book directly on the internet in case you want to reserve. Something that certainly in July and August is not unwise. Since most of the popular accommodations are small they will often fill up quickly, also in other periods. If something looks right and seems it might be a good idea maybe it is a good idea to book. Some hotels have a shuttle service from the port to the accommodation but there are taxis on the island that you can take you to Batsi ten minutes and occasionally there is a bus. Anyway it would be a good idea to rent a car on the island for a couple of days to drive around because the island, because it is pretty big. In the harbor there are several car rental companies. Andros is easily reached. You fly to Athens and here you take a taxi or a bus to the small harbour of Rafina (30 minutes). Andros is the first stop for the ferries and the trip from the harbour to the island takes about 2 hours. There are several ferry connections between Rafina and Andros each day. Most ferries leave in the morning and at the end of the afternoon. For hotels, apartments and studios on the island of Andros - click here.
