Cooking Experience in Andros – The location
Just a stone’s throw from stunning Gialia, one of the most pristine Andros beaches, Votsalo Estate comprises three newly built holiday villas and a laid-back all-day lounge bar.
The estate enjoys a prime location right on the beach, just a leisurely 30-minute stroll away from charming Andros Town (Chora) and the renowned Museum of Modern Art. Moreover, Votsalo Estate is perfectly located for those wishing to explore the magnificent Andros Routes, the island’s wide network of ancient hiking paths.

Take a walk under the shade of tall trees and you will instantly feel as though you’ve entered your private Garden of Eden, a mystical piece of land adorned with fragrant flowers and abundant in colorful vegetables.
But true magic awaits as you approach the back end of the estate and your ears start catching the lullaby of a delightful waterfall, one of many you’ll stumble upon in Andros, the only of the Cyclades Islands that boasts ten rivers with continuous flow all year long.
