Andros Hiking Map

Scale: 1:50.000
Edition: June 2009

It is the first map of Andros where the island’s entire coastline is mapped. Cartography was done with a specially equipped and staffed cartographic vessel. This means that you can locate all beaches of the island, down to the tiniest cove! In fact, the special features of every single beach are recorded: whether it is sandy or pebbled, whether it features natural tree shade, water, a beach bar or organized water sports, whether the seabed in front of the beach is sandy or rocky (so that you will know where to anchor).

It indicates the boundaries of NATURA 2000 areas so that you will know which parts of the island are of special environmental interest and beauty – thus you can enjoy traveling through them, but also take care to protect them.

It features the most complete road network. All dirt roads and their junctions, even the tiniest dead-ends (as permitted by the map scale) appear on a map of Andros for the first time! This level of detail may seem redundant, but when you explore an area it is immensely important to know which dirt road comes to a dead end and which exact junction will lead to the beach or sight you are interested in. For example, take a look at the entire area north of Vourkoti village, and it will become perfectly clear why this is the only map that can take you to the exotic beach of Platanistos.

The length of all trails is measured in kilometers, so you can estimate the duration of your hike no matter which trail/road combination you follow. Also, it features detailed descriptions of 11 trails on the back, including their total length in kilometers and the duration of the hike, and a map of the Andros Hora with all points of interest marked.

Map of Andros is printed on Polyart material, making it totally waterproof and rip-proof. You can fold it and unfold it a hundred times, fold it in irregular ways, dunk it in the sea or leave it out in the rain. This map is indestructible!
