Tis Grias to Pidima
Της Γριάς το Πήδημα
A small bay with a tall rock pillar standing in the sea. Legend says an old woman leapt from the cliff here, making this one of Andros's most iconic views.
This beach lies near Kori Bay in the south. A free-standing rock pillar about 20 metres tall rising from the sea marks the spot. Legend says an old woman, filled with regret after her castle fell, threw herself from the cliff and was turned to stone. The beach has fine sand and pebbles, clear water, and no large facilities nearby. From the village of Kori, it is about 5 minutes by car to the clifftop, then about 10 minutes down a stepped path. Summer brings crowds, so go in the morning or evening. There is no shade, so bring your own supplies.
