Vitali beach on Andros

Andros has been gifted with a number of fine beaches. I think the beaches on Andros are at least as nice as those on Naxos, and that's a very good rating. The most popular beaches are located in Batsi, and between Batsi and Gavrio.

Some of the beaches, such as Vitali, Ateni and Zorkos in the north-east of Andros, are difficult to access and can only be reached with your own vehicle. The advantage of these beaches is that you can sometimes have them to yourself. It's a wonderful feeling to arrive at a paradise beach and it turns out that no one else is there. On how many islands is it like that? Extremely few if you ask me. NOTE! If you visit Vitali beach during high season, expect a lot of people on the beach and then there are sunbeds and parasols for rent.

Vitali beach is incredibly beautiful.

Panagia church is one of the few buildings at the beach.

Of the long-distance beaches Vitali, Ateni and Zorkos, I think Vitali beach is the best. Vitali is about 14 kilometers from Gavrio and about 20 kilometers from Batsi. The last three kilometers are dirt road, and that regardless of where you start from. As it is, there is a tavern on the beach: Aphrodite's Delights.

The small beach on the left in the picture is called Gides beach.

Perhaps what I like best about Vitali beach is that there is a beach here called Kalimera. We like small beaches in Greece where there is no room for more than ourselves. Most often such beaches do not have a name because they are so small, and then I usually christen them in solemn ways. All are named Kalimera beach. Therefore, I have named the left part of this beach Kalimera beach.
