Hiking Tour Watermills Frousseoi Andros

Meet your guide in the morning and get to the north of Andros. This half day hiking tour guides you on the trail of the old mill village of Frousseoi. One can be surprised by the use of water as energy in Andros, considered Cyclades is a dry and windy complex. The water mills of Andros are the clearest proof for the human ability to coexist with the natural environment and use it for their basic needs. A large number of water mills were built in the 19th century and around 1830 there were 137 in operation across the island.

Exploring with an experienced local guide, we hike through this unique ravine between Ammolohos and Palestou. Enjoy this walk along the stream where we meet ruins of watermills along, with homes that operated until the mid- 20th century and were altogether the unique mill village that served the surrounding villages. On today’s expedition we hike a small part of the stream, but enough to admire the architecture and the impressive operating system that supplied water to the water mills. Rest with a light picnic under the trees in lush vegetation, so surprising for a Cycladic island.

At the end of the hike, we go to the nearby beach of Zorgos with real blue crystal water. Swim and rest.
Then we get back the meeting point in Andros.
