Andros is the northern most island of the Cyclades and second largest, after Naxos, with a breadth of 40 kilometers at its widest point and a length of 17 kilometers at its longest.

The island's main port is at Gavrio, which has frequent connections to Rafina. Ports at Batsi, Andros Town (Hora), and Korthi offer anchorage for fishing boats and leisure craft.

The island has a number of rivers, canyons, gulleys, and springs; its vegetation is dense and varied and the landscape dotted with plane trees, walnut trees, and oaks. Several routes are framed by woods or skirt streams and cascades. There are a number of cobblestone footpaths, or kalderimia, for ramblers.
