What, another nice beach, Andros seems to get better and better! Shipwrecks, lovely clean coarse sand - a well sheltered bay with good views. Vori is perhaps the most difficult beach to reach due to poor maps and it being a long way down a rough track. To get there involves heading first up into the mountains to Arnas, take something warm to wear, on a bike it got so cold only wearing T-shirts that we nearly gave up. Toubi's map can get you seriously lost here too. We were a bit dubious about what we would find as it was so close to Ateni beach which we describe below as appalling. As you get to the beach, in between two rocks, a large ship becomes visible, strangely this appears to be resting on the hillside! Well actually it is, it was shipwrecked and cast ashore last winter (1995). Rumour is that it won't be salvaged as it's much too inaccessible to reach. It seems to be a fair sized merchant vessel with two pairs of masts/cranes/whatever sticking up. Worth the visit just for a look! We are informed that if snorkelling, just off the beach is another old sunken shipwreck. Perhaps it's worth avoiding this area on a sailing holiday!

Unfortunately, a storm came up so we left here early before we got a chance to swim but the water looked very clear indeed. Very clean sand, it's not overlooked, quiet and unspoilt, probably excellent snorkelling, and interesting. No taverna, but as you need transport to get there you can carry provisions anyway. 8 out of 10 (maybe more if we had spent longer here).
