Anafi Daily Telegraph

The "the last unspoilt islands of Greece" of Greece are recommended by the Daily Telegraph to millions of British travellers, according to the experience and criteria of its travel editors.

As the article mentions, "Scattered across the teal-blue sea as if the gods had dropped their marbles, the Greek islands are like nowhere else on earth. They are the stepping stones to sun-dappled freedom, thyme-scented breezes, drowsy olive groves and retsina-soaked nights under a brilliant frieze of stars."

The "unspoilt islands": Ikaria, Alonissos, Anafi, Nisyros, Kythera, Samothraki, Folegandros, Koufonisia, Kastelorizo, and Nisyros.

Speaking to AMNA, representatives of destinations on the list refer to this season:

"Alonissos shows great potential. The development of diving, underwater weddings and our sustainable practices have put the island on the 'map' of international tourism," said the Mayor of Alonissos, Petros Vafinis.

"July closed with a 5% increase in arrivals compared to last year, August is expected to have 90% to 100% occupancy, and September is expected to expand the season.

"At the same time, new infrastructure projects that we are launching, such as biological cleaning, the replacement of water supply networks and the new port in Spartines, will mark a new 'road' of sustainable development for Alonissos.

The Deputy Mayor for Tourism of the Municipality of Naxos and Small Cyclades, Vangelis Katsaras, explained that "Koufonisia, Donoussa, Schinoussa and Heraklia, together with Naxos, constitute the 'Polynesia' of Greece and have emerged as a pole of attraction for travellers worldwide."

"Traffic throughout the summer is consistently high, with arrivals breaking records at intervals, while occupancy for August will "touch" 100%. The travel flows will be very significant throughout September as well," he pointed out.
