The Andros Maritime Museum, set in a 19th-century captain's house in Chora, showcases the island's rich seafaring tradition. Visitors can admire detailed models of traditional sailing ships, modern vessels, and naval battles. Exhibits include navigation instruments, ship logs, and photographs of famous Andriot shipowners. The museum highlights the island's role in Greek shipping, with stories of local families who built global fleets. A room dedicated to the Battle of Andros (1821) adds historical depth. The building's original wooden ceilings and sea-facing windows enhance the maritime atmosphere.
