It is accessible by road and the route that starts from Gavrio lasts 45 minutes with a length of about 15 km, including a dirt road of 3km. The road trip offers one of the greatest views of Andros, overlooking the mountains on the one side and the steep cliffs reaching the Aegean Sea on the other. here
Just beside the port of Batsi, you will find Batsi beach, an organized beach with all amenities and services available. The sandy beach is the perfect stop once you disembark on the island, as it offers eat and drink options in the nearby canteen or restaurant, as well as umbrellas, sunbeds, WC, and shower for a comfortable swim in Andros’ crystal-clear waters.
This impressive paradise that is called Vori beach, north of Andros is referred to as one of the top beaches in Andros, thanks to its idyllic virgin natural landscape and inviting waters.
Zorkos beach is another one of the popular beaches in Andros, on the northeastern part of the island. more
Where to stay
Wind Tales (doubles from €73 B&B), a boutique guesthouse in Ano Syros, oozes Cycladic charm and has terraces offering stunning views over the sea. Anemos kai Almyra (studios from €50) is a complex of clean, homely rooms with kitchens a few hundred metres from the west coast’s Delfini beach. here
Where to stay
The Old Stone Cottage (€150 a night for four) on the outskirts of Karystos is a secluded spot with two bedrooms and beautiful views across the bay and a ruined castle. Villa Averoff (from €1,850 a week for eight) in the hill village of Kirinthos, is a tranquil 19th-century estate in extensive grounds with two grand mansions each accommodating eight (which can be rented separately or together with three smaller buildings sleeping 26 people all together). here
At Drakospita in the south, 23 megalithic structures with roofs made of huge slabs of limestone are known as dragon houses. They may have been sanctuaries to Zeus, Hera or Hercules, or ancient defensive structures. The mountain villages offer cool sanctuary in the height of summer, with lots of signposted hiking trails through the woods. Steni village is a personal favourite. [links]
Where to stay
Ganimede (doubles from €65 B&B), a family hotel in Galaxidi’s port, is big on traditional Greek hospitality. At breakfast, served in the flowery courtyard, everything is homemade – the jams, the curds, the chutneys. Owner Chrysoula’s husband is also a baker. Galaxa Mansion (doubles from €65 room-only, breakfast €10pp) in Galaxidi’s old port is a family-run hotel that also takes pride in traditional, homemade breakfasts. Local eggs, pies straight from the kitchen, and a famous take on strudel all feature. here
There are countless great beaches: Vatses, Kaminaki, Agios Konstantinos, Plakes, Maltezana, and Tzanaki, to name a few. The nearby islets of Kounoupes and Koutsomitis also make for a lovely day trip. Be sure to pick up some local saffron to take home. It grows wild on the island and is much more flavourful and aromatic than cultivated varieties. more

I asked some top travel bloggers to pick out some of the best beaches in Greece for families as well as using some fantastic beaches that I’ve found on my travels to compile the ultimate list, from beaches in the hugely popular islands of Crete and Santorini to hidden gems in Naxos and Andros, you’ll find all the best beaches in Greece for families here.
Many of the resorts lead straight onto the beach, so if you stay in one of these you can have the best of both worlds with a beautiful and calm beach for swimming, as well as a hotel pool nearby, and the ability to pop back to your room easily.
When you think of Santorini, you probably think of the crowded towns of Thera, the island’s main town, and Oia, famous for its sunsets. But tucked away on the southern coast of the island are some great beaches that are far more relaxing and perfect for families, including Perivolos. more

Plaka beach in Naxos island is among the largest beaches in the Cyclades. With soft white sand and exotic waters, it attracts many visitors but it never gets packed due to its large size. Some parts of Plaka beach are organized with sunbeds, umbrellas, taverns, and watersports, but the largest part of the beach is not organized and ideal for total relaxation and privacy. more
Elia is among the largest beaches of Mykonos island. Located on the southeastern side of Mykonos, this is the last stop of the boats that depart from Mykonos Town and go to the southern beaches of the island. Elia is organized with many umbrellas, sunbeds, restaurants, and bars but it is quieter than other Mykonos beaches. It distinguishes for the fantastic water and the soft sand. here
