About Agios Andreas
Agios Andreas is an area that consists of the beautiful village of Agios Andreas (which was created by the residents of the large Tsakonian village of Prastos), its beach, Agios Georgios, and the Arkadiko Chorio (Arcadian Village, a model settlement founded in the 1980s).
Agios Andreas is located on the road Astros-Leonidio at a distance of 6 km from Astros and 40 KM, North of Leonidio.
In the South West of the village, on a hill above orchards with olive trees, stands a vertical rock, with North-West orientation, and height 20-40 meters, of excellent quality solid limestone.
On the right part of the crag the color of the rock is orange-red, and decorated with beautiful stalactite formations. On the left area of the crag there are gray plaques and mainly vertical or slightly positive slope. The location is idealic, with beautiful views to the sea and towards the village.
After climbing do not miss a stop for a drink or snack in the beautiful square of the village, or the fish restaurants by the seaside.
