Cyclades islands, Andros, Strapouries, Greece

Fifteen paces from one of the most beautiful and relaxing beaches in the Aegean, lined with glorious Tamarisk trees for natural shade; breathtaking sunsets over the whole bay as the sun dives below the horizon into the azure waters of the Cavo D’oro strait; ancient olive groves and abundant fig trees; a charming stone Bee Hut where farmers once kept their hives….
It’s YES to all this (and so much more) at this exceptionally rare 9,535 sqm plot of land right on Fellos Beach, Andros, with building land for a 600+ sqm dream-come-true paradise villa surrounded by its own flower-filled fields and historic stone walls. Want more? This spectacular plot is only 4 kilometres from Andros’s main ferry port in the town of Gavrio, with an all-asphalt road leading right to Fellos Beach. Stunning hiking trails and a taverna serving classic Greek cuisine under a canopy of mulberry trees are on your doorstep, and thriving Batsi with its cosmopolitan restaurants and lively bars is just a 15- minute drive away. While you’re there don’t miss Hora, the capital of Andros, located 24 km beyond Batsi along the stunning coastal road. Prepare to be charmed and surprised by the town’s elegant Cycladic architecture, internationally acclaimed galleries and museums, open-air theatre, fish restaurants and stylish shops. There’s really not much to think about: Aegean Infinity has it all.
Andros is the northernmost island of the Cyclades in the Aegean Sea and the second largest
after Naxos. Sometimes described as a miniature lookalike of Greece itself, its unique landscape combines high mountains with deep, verdant valleys, gushing rivers, fresh-water natural springs and stunning beaches bathed in the golden Mediterranean sun. Classical Cycladic architecture contrasts with fascinating Venetian and Byzantine ruins, and a superb 100 km network of hiking trails (known as Andros Routes and certified by the EU) attracts excursionists from all over the world keen to discover the island’s hidden beauties. The capital of Andros, Hora, is one of the most beautiful in the Cyclades. Elegant, dignified and authentic, it boasts impressive museums such as the Archaeological Museum of Andros and the Goulandris Museum of Contemporary Art, with a new (and often outstanding) exhibition every summer. A lovely, one-and-a-half kilometre pedestrian walkway guides visitors through the centre of town past shops, restaurants, churches, historic monuments and – eventually – down to the sea where a giant statue dedicated to sailors overlooks an enchanting Venetian stone bridge leading to the island’s ruined castle.

Next to Hora, in the village of Korthi, visitors can enjoy freshly-caught fish in charming seafront restaurants before heading on to pretty Batsi for a late-night cocktail overlooking the marina.

Accessibility: Andros is the closest of the Cyclades islands to Athens and extremely easy to get to. It can be reached by ferry from the port of Rafina on the mainland (30 mins by car from Athens airport). The ferry takes just two hours and there are at least four daily services in high season and two in winter. Andros is also connected by ferry to Tinos and Mykonos.

Investment opportunity: The sophisticated yet authentic character of Andros, combined with the island’s magnificent natural landscape, make it a magical tourist destination and an exceptional investment opportunity. Easy to reach yet still relatively uncrowded even in high summer, Andros is that rare combination of convenience, beauty and exclusivity.
