British Times recommends Andros Island for off-season holidays


Local agencies are keen to promote Andros during the off-season through special press missions, interaction with international media and tour operators.

Andros is one of 6 islands that British travelers can visit before and after the summer, according to a British Times survey. An article published in an international publication states that, “unlike most of its Cycladic neighbors, Andros is an extremely green and incredibly diverse island that lacks mass tourism.” Even in summer there are “pristine beaches and misty mountain areas.”

The island has impressive mansions, museums and municipal buildings that are a legacy of the 19th century. Farmers still delight passing tourists with fresh goat cheese and jars of fruit. The wetlands are teeming with migratory birds, and the dense forests contain abundant sources of fresh water. Andros Routes is a great choice for hiking the island's many trails.”

At the same time, a new extensive article from Thetravel.com urges “millions of readers to choose Andros, which remains the well-hidden pearl of the Aegean.” According to a popular international tourism website, “Andros offers emerald waters, organized hiking trails, very good quality restaurants. The island is an ideal holiday destination almost all year round, without the suffocating pressure of tourists.”
