Hotels on Ándros: prices, timing and areas

When to book a stay on Andros for less

Prices on Andros follow the swimming season and the holidays. Winter is cheapest, in December, when rates drop about 60 percent below the yearly average, as most guests come in summer. April is the priciest, around Orthodox Easter, when the island fills with visitors from Athens and rates can run several times higher than in winter. The arrival day matters too: Monday tends to be the cheapest, Wednesday the most expensive. For a regular trip, book about a month ahead, as the lowest rates appear just before the date and a few weeks out can cost more.

What a stay costs by property type

The stock on Andros is mostly studios, apartments and small hotels, so the price spread is narrower than in a big city. The cheapest sleep is a simple studio or a guesthouse room away from the beach; you pay the most for an apartment with a pool and a boutique spa hotel. Below are indicative nightly rates.

Indicative rates for a double room, outside the Easter peak. On Andros the gap between a quiet December and an Easter April can be several times over, so check the real price for your dates in the search above.

Where on the island to look for a stay

Batsi has the most properties and the most bookings, the main resort on the west coast with a beach, tavernas and an easy entry into the sea. The capital, Chora or Andros Town, has neoclassical houses, museums and the smartest hotels, including boutique spa addresses. Gavrion is the ferry port where boats from Rafina near Athens arrive, so it is a good choice for the first and last night. Quieter and often cheaper stays are in smaller places such as Kipri by the beach, mountain Apikia with its springs, or Ormos Korthiou in the south. The island has limited transport, so a car helps if you want to explore freely.

Which stay on Andros suits whom

• For families. Properties with a pool and a beach nearby work well, along with apartments with a kitchen. Families often choose Micra Anglia Boutique Hotel & Spa, Archontiko Eleni Hotel and Camara Suites.
• For couples. The highest rated by couples are Camara Suites, Egli Hotel and Anemomiloi Andros. A short walk from there to a taverna dinner and an evening stroll around Chora.
• With breakfast. Breakfast in the rate is praised by guests of Camara Suites, Egli Hotel and Micra Anglia Boutique Hotel & Spa. Handy before a day on the beach or on a trail.
• By the ferry. For the first or last night, properties in and around Gavrion are good, a few minutes from the port where the ferry from Rafina arrives.
• For quiet and nature. Smaller villages such as Apikia, Kipri or Ormos Korthiou offer calm and easier access to the mountain trails of Andros, one of the greenest Cyclades.
