According to the latest edition of the Daily Telegraph, "it is very rare in our time to discover new paradises that remain unexplored In the era of over tourism, the goal is for someone to 'unearth' hidden gems that will reward them with wild and beautiful shores and pristine fishing villages where life flows slowly and carefree."
Andros is listed among the 10 "secret" destinations in the Mediterranean recommended by the British newspaper, emphasizing that "Greek shipowners who built their mansions on Andros in the early 20th century blessed this jewel of the Cyclades with prosperity and grandeur. In contrast to Santorini and Mykonos, the charm of Andros is more serene and tranquil, reminiscent of the pure and authentic times of tourism."
The Guardian echoes the same sentiment. The readership of this international publication has chosen Andros as one of the unique places in Greece that offer experiences beyond the beaten path. Strolling through the picturesque Chora, exploring the organized hiking network of the island, untouched beaches, arts, museums, and beautiful shops give the destination a distinct "color."
"In collaboration with professionals and local authorities, we offer the unpretentious and authentic, creating indelible memories for travelers. In this context, we implement targeted actions, showcasing experiences within two hours' distance from Athens, and through our work, we constantly strive to enhance our tourism image. The coming months are expected to significantly strengthen with tourist flows," said Dimitris Lotsaris, the Mayor of Andros.
