At the 12^th Km on the seaside drive, there is a crossing: the road ahead leads to Korthi, while left, to the capital Hora. At the 20^th Km there is the village Melida with the church of Archangel Michael of 11^th century, and at the 28^th Km a detour left, leads to the village Menites full of gardens and greenery. Its taverns are under big plane trees, beside springs with excellent cool water all year round. At the 34^rd Km there is the capital Hora or Andros. It is built in a tiny peninsula between two beaches, Paraporti and Nimborio, fine for swimming and seaports.

On its outskirts there are ruins of the castle built by the Venetian (1207-1556 ad).

The steep, narrow streets, with the white houses, the beautiful mansions and archways show a successful marriage of the cycladic to neo-classical architecture.
