'''Andros''', (Greek: Άνδρος), is an [[island]] of the [[Greece|Greek]] archipelago, the most northerly of the [[Cyclades]], approximately 10 km (6 miles) south east of [[Euboea]], and about 3 km (about 2 miles) north of [[Tinos]]. It is nearly 40 km (25 miles) long, and its greatest breadth is 16 km 10 miles. Its surface is for the most part mountainous, with many fruitful and well-watered valleys. [[Andros (city)|Andros]], the capital, on the east coast, contained about 2000 inhabitants in [[1900]]. The island had about 18,000 inhabitants in ([[1900]]) with the density of 48.13/km². The [[1991]] census read 8,781. According to a [[1992]] Baedeker, the town of Andros still contains 2000 inhabitants, and the island's total is now 10,500.

The island in ancient times contained an [[Ionia]]n population, perhaps with an admixture of [[Thrace|Thracian]] blood. Though originally dependent on [[Eretria]], by the [[7th century BC]] it had become sufficiently prosperous to send out several colonies, to [[Chalcidice]] ([[Acanthus]], [[Stageira]], [[Argilus]], [[Sane]]). The ruins of Palaeopolis, the ancient capital, are on the west coast; the town possessed a famous temple, dedicated to [[Dionysus]].In [[480 BC]] it supplied ships to [[Xerxes I|Xerxes]] and was subsequently harried by the Greek fleet. Though enrolled in the [[Delian League]] it remained disaffected towards [[Athens]], and in [[447 BC|477]] had to be coerced by the establishment of a [[cleruchy]] on the island; nevertheless, in [[411 BC|411]] Andros proclaimed its freedom, and in [[408 BC|408]] withstood an Athenian attack. As a member of the second Delian League it was again controlled by a garrison and an [[archon]]. In the [[Hellenistic]] period Andros was contended for as a frontier-post by the two naval powers of the [[Aegean Sea]], [[Macedon]] and [[Egypt]]. In [[333 BC|333]] it received a Macedonian garrison from [[Antipater]]; in [[308 BC|308]] it was freed by [[Ptolemy I of Egypt]]. In the [[Chremonidean War]] ([[266 BC|266]]-[[263 BC|263]]) it passed again to Macedon after a battle fought off its shores. In [[200 BC|200]] it was captured by a combined Roman, [[Pergamum|Pergamene]] and [[Rhodes|Rhodian]] fleet, and remained a possession of [[Pergamum]] until the dissolution of that kingdom in [[133 BC]]. Before falling under Turkish rule, Andros was from A.D. [[1207]] till [[1566]] governed by the families [[Zeno]] and [[Sommariva]] under Venetian protection. After a few centuries, Cyclades joined the rest of [[Greece]] in [[1821]].

On May 10th, 1821, [[Theophilos Kairis]], one of the leading intellectuals of the Greek Revolution, declared the War of Independence by raising the Greek flag at the picturesque cliffside church of St George: at this time, a famous heartfelt speech, or "rhetoras", inspired shipowners and merchants to contribute funds to build a Greek Navy to combat the Ottomans.

[[Andros city|Andros]] (Chora or Hora), the capital of the island, is on a headland between two beaches. It has a mix of post-World War I neoclassical mansions with vernacular [[Cycladic]] houses. The town squares are paved with marble. At the end of the headland are two islands, the first linked to the mainland by a brick bridge a ruined Venetian castle and the second a lighthouse. There are three museums the rather bland Archaeological Museum, a exceptional Museum of Modern Art, and a Nautical Museum.

The main resort town is Batsi on the western coast which is popular with Greek tourists.

The island is famous for its mineral springs at Apoikia where the water comes out of a lionhead.

Palaeopolis, the ancient capital is mostly underwater.

Stenies, on the island's eastern coast near the beaches of Yialia and Piso Yialia, is probably the island's most picturesque village. However, the east coast of the island is not famed for its welcoming attitude to tourists, and historically, steps have been made to stem the flow of visitors, that have altered the landscape of neighbouring islands (notably Mykonos). There are no commercial distractions in Stenies.
