Andros, the "most beautiful in the world"
Just two hours away from Athens is Andros, the island which according to Andreas Empirikos is the most beautiful island in the world. The characterization of the greek poet is not accidental. In Andros, the second largest island of the Cyclades, the visitor can find everything. High mountains, ravines, rivers, waterfalls, extremely rich flora and fauna and of course beautiful beaches and traditional settlements. A weekend alone is not enough to catch a glimpse of the sights of Andros, but it will feel like you have been away from the city for weeks.
