Our journey begins by making our way to the charming village of Stenies, you’ll get a glimpse of Andros’ rich maritime heritage, evident in the neoclassical mansions and stone-paved pathways that wind through this hidden gem. Known as the village of shipowners and captains, Stenies boasts an aristocratic charm that transports visitors back in time. Strolling through its quiet alleys, we admire grand homes that once belonged to some of Greece’s most renowned seafarers. One of the highlights of our visit is the Bisti Mansion, a beautifully preserved estate that offers a fascinating insight into Andros’ naval past.

Leaving Stenies behind, we continue our adventure to Kourtesis Wine Estate, a family-owned vineyard nestled in the heart of Andros’ countryside. As we arrive, the tranquil beauty of the vineyards welcomes us, setting the stage for an immersive wine experience. A guided tour of the estate takes us through the lush vines, where we learn about the unique climate and soil of Andros that contribute to the production of exceptional wines. Stepping inside the winery, we discover the intricate process of winemaking, from harvesting the grapes to bottling the final product. The experience culminates in a wine tasting session, where we savor a carefully selected variety of local wines, each accompanied by traditional Andros delicacies that enhance the flavors.

With our senses enriched by history and the taste of fine wine, we begin our return journey, taking in the serene beauty of Andros one last time. As we make our way back to your accommodation or the designated drop-off point, the island’s timeless charm lingers, leaving you with memories of an unforgettable half-day tour through its maritime and winemaking traditions.
