Stamatis’ place is located very conveniently directly in the port of Gavrio where you arrive by ferry from Athens (or Tinos / Mykonos). His mother received us very kindly and showed us around. The place has everything you need to cook and was really tastefully decorated. Gavrio has some good restaurant options, supermarket, bus stop, ferry ticket office and is the starting point of some of the very well indicated hiking trails with stunning views! We visited in October and some days were very windy, which caused the ferry to be cancelled. Stamatis was very understanding and accommodating and we could stay another night and catch the ferry the next day when the weather was better. When the ferries are cancelled the bus also didn’t go, especially in the low season it is probably best to have a rental car to explore more. Around Chora/Andros town we took another hiking trail which was really nice. There are some taxis on the island.
