Tis Grias To Pidima

Tis Grias To Pidima

The beach Tis Grias To Pidima is in the popular tourist island of Andros in Greece. It is situated near Ormos at the Municipality of Korthi. The name originally translates as "The Old Lady's Jump"; it refers to a local myth according to which an old lady committed suicide by jumping of a cliff that can allegedly be found in this location. Due to the word "pidima" ("jump") also being commonly used as a synonym for intercourse, the name tends to be misinterpreted and used as a joke by people unfamiliar with the myth.
