Listed 4 sub titles with search on: Information about the place for destination: "KORTHI Municipality ANDROS".
The Municipality of Korthi lies in the southern part of Andros
island. It is crossed by two mountain massives, Gerakones in the north (which
is the natural boundary with the Municipality of Andros) and Rachi in the south.
In between lies the fertile Korthi
valley and the impressive gorge in Dipotamata, with plenty of running water and
the numerous water-mills. The area dominates the Kastro Faneromenis (Faneromeni
Castle), old middle-ages fortification, with spectacular view of the Aegean Sea.
In the area you will find many sandy beaches, and the most known
Grias Pidima beach.
By a boat or walking, you will find even more isolated beaches, since the coast
surrounding the area is dotted with smaller and bigger bays.
Following the old path-ways you will see wind and water mills, pigeon
houses (peristeriones), monasteries and churches, bridges, lovely mansions with
flowery balconies and bright green yards.
The administrative and economic center of the Municipality is Ormos.
It is surrounded by many villages, mainly Korthi with Agia Triada church, Aidonia
with the scenic spring, Pisso
Meria with the vast area of Steno, Kapparia
with Plaka beach and
Agios Georgios in Farali, Paleokastro
area with villages like art paintings, Kochylou
with Kastro Faneromenis (Faneromenis Castle) and scenic Syneti
at the end of the gorge in Dipotamata.
