Andros, Island in Cyclades, Greece

The northernmost Cycladic island extends 40 kilometers in length, reaching an elevation of 995 meters above the Aegean Sea waters.

Ancient Greek settlers established Palaeopolis as the capital, constructing a harbor whose stone structures remain visible beneath the water surface today.

Maritime traditions shape local life through generations, with numerous residents maintaining strong connections to shipping and naval activities.

Regular ferry services connect the port of Gavrio with Rafina near Athens, while local buses transport visitors between main towns and beaches.

The Strofilas settlement contains Neolithic rock carvings dating to 4000 BCE, representing maritime scenes and religious symbols of the period.
