Finds management assistant
I’ve been in Chora since early September working on the 2014 Zagora Archaeology Project pre-excavation study season.
Our time in Chora has not been all work. We have had the opportunity to visit the Cycladic Olive Oil Museum and a trip via boat to the beautiful Achla Beach thanks to our host Jannis at the Karaoulanis – Riva Apartments where we were staying in Chora.
Andros and our base camps at Chora and Batsi offer the best of Greece, the scenery, the beaches, the food, wine and the generosity and kindness of the people. They are keen to welcome us to their island, and that we are so interested and have come from so far away to work on their history.

Fabulous pictures the clarity is amazing. thanks for the update.
Thanks, Claire – glad you enjoyed it.
Nice report – thanks. Funnily enough we’ve been to Andros about fifteen times (!) and have yet to visit either the Olive Museum or Achla Beach – we did try to drive down there one day but the road was so bad we bottled it! Everyone says it’s beautiful, so perhaps next year we’ll try again. It’s good to see that you get some “down time”!
Thanks for your comments Malcolm, Achla Beach is difficult to reach, but the reward is worth the effort. You could make the trip by boat as we did as this gives you the opportunity to view the island’s varying landscape from the water. The Archaeological, Cycladic Olive Oil and Maritime Museums in Chora are well worth visiting the next time you visit Andros. It is a beautiful island that offers all that is Greece: the food, scenery, beaches. Enjoy your next visit.
