Andros

Where to stay: Onar
Paradise is worth making a bit of extra effort for. In this case the 40km drive from Andros’ main port includes a last half hour down a rough dirt track. You won’t be leaving in a hurry, and you won’t want to. Set by a perfect beach, and with a natural pool, these nine houses offer a perfect getaway from the modern world, with a great mix of seclusion and communal get-togethers. Mobile signals are patchy and the internet isn’t up to much either – long may it last.

Where to eat 
As you won’t want to stray far in the evenings, it is good to know that the food provided by the Onar is excellent and based around local ingredients and freshly caught fish. On top of this, local village ladies sometimes offer masterclasses on their family recipes.

Don’t miss
If you can tear yourself away, Andros has a lot to offer. The landscape is fertile and rewards exploration by car or on foot. An even more idyllic option might be hiring a small boat and chugging from cove to secret cove.
