At the entrance of the town of Andros you can find the old ice factory of Mantzavelakis, while the Folklore and Christian Art Museum is housed in the restored areas of the town. At the basement you can see a typical house of Andros (with a cellar), as well as traditional products and professions of Andros. On the upper floor, which used to function as an olive press, there is the Christian exhibition of Andros with items dating back to the 18th-19th centuries. The exhibition is divided into three parts:

This Byzantine monastery is located in “Katafigio”, on the north slope of mountain Gerakones at an altitude of 230 meters with a spectacular view to the villages of central Andros in the Mesaria valley till the sea. The monastery was built by the Byzantine emperor Nikiforos Fokas in 963 – 969 A.D. The Catholic part of the monastery consists of a cruciform temple with a dome and is dedicated to the assumption of Virgin Mary.

Pigeon Houses are said to be “the most lyrical and complex compositions” in Greek folk architecture. You can find them almost everywhere on the island, mainly in the area of Korthi.

They are two-storey, squared buildings. The nests of the pigeons are on the upper floor whereas the basement is used as a storage room. The houses are decorated with geometrical shapes such as triangles, squares, rhombuses, circles etc. The final result resembles “embroidery on white canvas” attributing, thus, a transcendent character to the whitewashed building.

Cave “Foros” is located in Aladino village and is 4 km far from Hora. It occupies approximately 500 sq.m. and it is one of the first discovered caves of Greece. You can start your exploration of the area at the old bridge which was constructed in 1680 AD from Epirotis master builder Kitsos Zois and his guild. A traditional cobbled road leads to the cave. It starts from Aladino Bridge where you can see the “big river” with all the ducks, turtles and eels, and after hiking for 300 meters you will see the cave between the oak trees and wild pear trees.

Legend has it that Pasha San Rizas who lived on the island of Evoia lost his tarboosh inside a creek till it finally got washed up inside a fountain at Apoikia village in Andros. The fountain, therefore, was named after him and they say that Sariza Fountain is connected to Evoia. Even though the exact restoration date of the fountain remains unknown, we know that it was constructed in 1787 and was funded and supervised by Makarios Polemis. The fountain was mainly used as a water supply for the inhabitants of the village and as an irrigation system for the fields.
