BATSI

Batsi is set along a harbor, and everything fans out from the crescent of the waterfront. The harbor has two arcs and is shaped like a W when seen from the land looking toward the water. The left concave of the W is the warf side. Boats dock here, and the bank and tourist agency are along the main road near the water. The right concave of the W is a string of shops and buildings. The middle of the W is a row of tavernas and coffee shops, all fairly-priced. Other roads lead away from the town up the hill. When facing the waterfront, the main road, if followed to the right, leads to Gavria and Golden Beach. From the same perspective, the main road, if followed to the left, leads to Chora, also known as Andros Town.

The entirety of Batsi is not ideal for handicapped visitors. While it can be explored via car, most of the town is set up along a series of step risers to compensate for the enormous grade in the land that slopes down to the waterfront, making getting around in a wheelchair difficult. The main waterfront level would be passable but the next level of shops might be difficult to access.
