On Foot Holidays - Andros Traveller Reviews

Spent five nights in Andros with well-structured hikes curated by OnFoot holidays. Very enjoyable stay - the hiking path markers were excellent, and OnFoot offered useful shortening options if you wished to use them. Local contacts were all very friendly and helpful. Hikes were uncrowded but towns had good facilities without being overrun by tourists. Sea was divine after a hot day's walking.

OnFoot was always responsive, helpful and professional. We've used them before and will use them again.

A self-guided walking holiday which combined two On-Foot holidays on three Greek islands. All three islands were very different from each other ranging from lush rustic areas of Andros, the olde town on Naxos and to the more mountainous Amorgos. The wild flowers and birdsong helped compliment many a walk and it was a joy to discover lesser-known parts of the islands.

Attentive, responsive and friendly. We particularly appreciated their attention to detail, given there were so many connections and much to arrange. On Foot were also able to advise on parts of the holiday we arranged ourselves at the beginning (a short stay in Athens) and during the middle of the holiday (a short stay on the island of Tinos.) We highly recommend On Foot holidays and this was our 8th and 9th holiday with this tour operator. They have always exceeded our expectations.

Anemomiloi Apartments, our hotel in Chora, was very comfortable. The room was spacious and clean, breakfast by the pool was excellent, as were the packed lunches. It made a pleasant change for us to be based in one place, enabling us to decide on a daily basis which walk to tackle or whether just to laze on a beach and swim in the lovely warm sea. The paths were varied and very well marked. All in all, an ideal destination for autumn walking. The information and service provided by On Foot Holidays were as usual of a very high standard.

This was our 7th walking holiday with On Foot Holidays - that speaks for itself!

We had a 5 day walking holiday on the Greek island of Andros. The walking routes were varied but all of them beautiful and very well way marked. Andros is a green and bounteous island so quite different from many of the Cyclades. On Foot holidays provided great support both before our trip and through their support network on the island. We stayed at the lovely Anemomiloi Apartments in Chora where our host George was so welcoming and generous.

Great support during the booking process, prior to departure and when our ferry got delayed en route to Andros

Hard walking (at least for me), excellent hotel, very pleasant town, lots of sunshine.

Excellent organisation, everything exactly as it should have been.

Andros is a beautiful island not geared in any way to mass tourism so very special. The main town of Chora is pretty and easily navigable mostly by foot. We had a perfect holiday with a good long walk every day but plenty of down time on the beach and beside the pool at our very sweet hotel.

The On Foot office team are so efficient - they sorted out our holiday to exactly meet our needs and the hotel in particular was really special. All the walking notes and maps were great.

The organisation of the holiday was exceptional. The accommodation, and taxi service worked very well. The routes were well marked on Andros and the maps and walk descriptions were good. There were a few errors in one of the printed booklets which caused us some confusion but we were able to work out that explanations for different walks had got mixed up and other members of my party have highlighted these to the company and to the local rep.

Very efficient and friendly. Gave speedy responses to queries and communicated well.

Six day walking holiday based in Chora on Andros, a two hour ferry ride from Athens. Spectacular scenery, very well marked and maintained walking trails, peace and quiet, delicious fresh food and friendly people. Lovely hotel accomodation on a traditional and unspoiled Greek island.

Everything from initial contact to final documentation is efficient, precise and helpful. The walking notes are extremely clear and useful background information is also provided. On Foot really know their walking destinations so I am happy to be totally guided by their experience and recommendations.

We had a fantastic five days of self-guided walking on the island of Andros. For a small island, it is quite varied and the walks showed the island at its best. Very friendly people everywhere we went, great accommodation and taxi service arranged by On Foot Holidays, good food, sunny days and perfect temperature for walking.

On Foot Holidays provided comprehensive information in the form of route maps and directions, and background reading on the history, flora and fauna of Andros. The accommodation was perfect, the taxi service they arranged for cross-island trips was always on time. Very happy to recommend On Foot to other walkers.

Very enjoyable - away from it all walking with great accommodation
