Chora of Andros

Andros Town is the capital of the island, built on a peninsula that divides the sea in two, with the pedestrian crossing it leading to Unknown Sailor's square. It ends up on the small island, on which is built the medieval Venetian castle, and the rocky island of the famous and unique Tourlitis Lighthouse. Two sandy beaches surround the town of Andros, the central beach of the capital Neimporio in the west and Paraporti in the east. It is true that Andros Town does not look like a Cycladic capital at all, it is the homeland of renowned shipowners and captains and preserves its glory and its modest majesty. It's unique. Beautiful neoclassical mansions and houses, paved streets, squares, picturesque alleys and beautiful churches.
