Ormos Korthiou (Korthi Bay)
Όρμος Κορθίου
A quiet seaside village in the southeast of the island, with a long sandy beach, a fishing harbour, and seaside tavernas, and the Old Woman's Leap beach just a few kilometres to the north.
Korthi Bay is the central village of southern Andros. The bay is wide and the sandy beach is long. Along the shore lies a row of traditional tavernas and dessert shops, and it's quieter than Chora or Batsi. In the surrounding valleys are the stone villages of Aidonia and Kochylou, along with the abandoned Venetian castle ruins of Faneromeni, all of which are good for hiking. The Old Woman's Leap beach is just a few kilometres north of the village. The drive from Chora takes about 30 minutes.
