If Chora is the elegant lady of Andros and Gavrio is the laid-back port town, then Batsi (or Mpatsi) is definitely the fun and charming little sister. It’s the kind of place that immediately makes you slow down and have a drink at one of the bars while looking out at the crystal-blue waters of …
Let’s be honest. Gavrio isn’t usually the reason people book a trip to Andros. Everybody arrives in Gavrio (often by ferry from Rafina in Athens), as it is the only ferry port on Andros. But most visitors step off, pick up their rental car, and immediately drive to Batsi or the capital Chora without giving …
If Andros had a crown jewel, it would undoubtedly be Andros Town, or Chora, the capital of Andros and one of the best places to visit in Andros. When we visited Chora, we expected another pretty Cycladic town with whitewashed houses and a few blue shutters. You know the type. But Chora surprised us. It …
When people talk about the best things to do in Milos, one place always seems to come up: Kleftiko. OK, maybe also Sarakiniko Beach, but you haven’t truly explored Milos Island if you haven’t seen the stunning rock formations of Kleftiko Beach.

If you’re heading to Syros’ beaches and looking for one that’s perfect for families, easygoing travelers, and anyone who enjoys a blend of comfort and crystal-clear, calm waters, then Vari Beach is a must. When we first arrived at Vari Beach with our kids, we instantly thought: “This is the kind of beach where parents …
When you picture the perfect Greek island beach, chances are you imagine golden sand, calm turquoise water, and a laid-back taverna just a few steps away. That’s exactly what you’ll find at Azolimnos Beach, one of the most popular and family-friendly beaches on Syros. One of the reasons the beach is so popular (besides the …
Andros might not be the most famous Cycladic island, but that’s exactly what makes it so special. Just a two-hour ferry ride from Rafina (near Athens), it offers a unique blend of mountain landscapes, fertile valleys, charming villages, and stunning beaches.

When you think of the Greek islands, you probably picture whitewashed houses, turquoise waters, and lazy days spent sipping frappés.
