Andros on foot
Walk the island. Come home to Androsthea.
Stone paths, green valleys and villages with Aegean views. Explore a different side of Andros, then return to the privacy of your villa above Kypri.
The walking island
Andros has around 240 km of restored, waymarked trails. Start with a short waterfall outing, spend a day walking between villages, or climb towards a hillside monastery.
About the official walking networkRoute finder
Search the three curated routes by place or landscape, then check the official information before you go.
Route 2a
A small outing through woods towards waterfalls and pools. Water flow depends on the season.
The route is almost flat, with a few steps, on dirt and cement path plus stairs. Allow extra time for your return and for unhurried stops; it is not suitable for every mobility level.
Getting there. Car or taxi coordination is needed to and from the Kypri villa.
Route 11
A fuller day on foot through hill views, green valleys and villages in north Andros.
Choose this route for a longer walk and read the official route information before setting out, particularly for the more demanding sections near Arni.
Getting there. Car or taxi coordination is needed to and from the Kypri villa.
Routes 17 & 1
Citrus orchards, river landscapes and a hillside monastery make this a rewarding day for confident walkers.
The Livadia river valley leads to a steep climb towards Panachrantos Monastery. River crossings need particular care after rain; check the official route information before setting out.
Getting there. Car or taxi coordination is needed to and from the Kypri villa.
Your stay, your own pace
Arrive and settle in
Make yourself at home and enjoy the sea views above Kypri.
A gentler walking day
Choose the Pythara outing, with time for Chora if it suits your day.
A longer day outdoors
Choose either the Batsi route or the monastery route, according to your fitness and the current weather.
Time at the villa
Leave room for long meals, reading and time together away from the usual routine.
Use these ideas within your stay. Dates, minimum stay and seasonal facilities are confirmed separately.
Plan thoughtfully
Winter can bring substantial rain and strong winds. Choose a route only with current weather and route information.
Ask us about a local guide or trailhead transfers. We will confirm provider availability and the separate charges for your dates.
Official estimated walking times do not include transfers, rests or return journeys.
Androsthea is your private base above Kypri. These walks start elsewhere on the island, so plan transport to and from the trail.
Walking stay inquiry
Share the rhythm you have in mind. Dates are optional; an inquiry is not a reservation, and availability is confirmed separately.
