Andros - Town Attractions Khora

The Ándros island's chief town, Ándros Khóra, lies in the poorly sheltered central bay on the east coast. From the harbor a picturesque flight of steps leads up to the old town, situated on a rocky promontory with a ruined medieval castle. The newer part of the town, with its market square and its busy wide main street, extends farther inland.
Andros town has many neo-classical mansions side-by-side with Cycladic houses. Its steep and narrow alleys are lined with arcades, and there are fine churches as well as two pretty squares in the center of town.
Basil & Elis Goulandris Museum of Modern Art
The Basil & Elise Museum of Modern Art in Andros opened in the early 1980s. This museum is the only one of its kind in Greece and has an international reputation.
The museum highlights works by sculptor Michalis Tombros as well some of the most famous Greek artists.
