A distinct Cycladic island Andros, the second largest and the greenest island of the Cyclades, is characterized by idyllic places with rich vegetation crossed by spring water streams, merging with the sea in natural harbours and quaintly shaped beaches. Contemporary Andros has preserved its attractiveness to a traveller seeking to experience perennial wisdom and a serenity of thought, triggered and nourished by the striking iridescent blue of the Aegean Sea.
