SILENCE AND SECLUSION AT ONAR , ANDROS

 

Want to charge your batteries ? Forget about the expensive retreats and spa's and book a week here at Onar.
 
While you are at Onar do not plan to do much.Onar is an isolated seaside spot located far down a bumpy dirt tract in the middle of nowhere. A perfect zen spot with eight minimalist-chic stone cottages on the extremely rural location on the east coast of Andros - Greece's most underrated island. 

There are a number of luxuries for being out here that you don't get at many resorts ;no WiFi, no shops, no nightclubs ,very few people and no traffic. Just silence and seclusion.

You are exposed to nature as it should be; an uncrowded stunning pale blue bay with a sandy beach where you can gaze at night to the stars, a trickling stream ,a beautiful landscape and an occasional bleat from the goats in the valley is all you can expect .Time does not exist here.

The restaurant has a pretty communal outdoor dining area which serves delicious local,organic foods under pretty shaded plane trees. The whole concept of this resort  is more "friends among others" than hotel.

For those who seek nature, space, the roaring of the sea and quietness, it's just about perfect....
