Andros, Syros and Antiparos in July?
Hi
If the beach activity is not a priority, is Andros worth visiting to keep any one busy during 4 or 5 days?
Fore a kind of lively atmosphere at night (no Nightclubs) do you advise to stay in Bastia or in Chora which seems more authentic?
Is Antiparos well connected with Paros at night if I have to spend the evening in Parikia or Naoussa?
Do you find that it is a good option to combine Andros with Syros and Antiparos for visiting different and lovely places after having visited many other islands in Cyclades and ddedocannese? ?

Both Andros and Syros are worth a visit if you like authentic Greek Islands with good hiking possibilities.
There will be some local tourism on both (mainly Greeks). The bus network (and timetables) of Syros is much bigger than that of Andros (but there are taxis).
The Punda - Antiparos ferry runs usually until around midnight, may be a bit longer in a normal July (with no covid).
Parikia is much closer from the ferry pier than Naoussa. The streeets and restaurants of both are usually crowded (tourists) until midnight.
Batsi versus Chora: I don't know Chora at night. The Western (Batsi) side of the Island is usually calmer (less wind resp waves).
Andros can easily be reached from ATH airport via Rafina.

The last ferry from Antiparos to Pounta in July leaves at 01:30 or 02:30. There are signboards at the ferry slips in both Pounta and Antiparos showing the current schedule, so be sure to make note of it if you plan a late night on Antiparos. Near the bottom of the page on the following link is an estimated timetable month by month based on previous year’s schedules.
