Gavrio Andros

The resort of Gavrio is located on the north-western side of Andros in a large and sheltered deep water bay.
Gavrio is the main port of Andros and all the big ferries pull in here to disgorge passengers onto the large swathes of concrete that line the shore.
Buses and taxis line up here to meet the ferries and whisk away new arrivals.
Although located in a very beautiful setting, Gavrio is a scruffy town of whitewashed breezeblock homes and busy, narrow roads.
A line of cafes flank the main road that runs along the coast and that is about it, apart from the huge car park at the port entrance and streets lined with parked cars.
There are plenty of rooms to rent in the resort but most visitors head straight out on buses and in cars to to the more attractive resorts on Andros such as Batsi and Hora.
