According to international media, Andros is emerging as one of the most suitable summer destinations under the new conditions.
The New York Times ranked Andros among the “52 Places to Love in 2021” in the world, as the only Greek location in fact, among destinations from all over the world, from Iceland to South Africa and from Colombia to Japan!
“Hospitality is in the heart of the island as Andros has not ceased to maintain its authenticity over the decade,” is the central message of the laudatory article that reached millions of readers worldwide.
In addition, Andros deservedly earned a place at the top with its maritime tradition and postcard-like landscapes, according to Vagabond, Scandinavia’s leading travel magazine. The equally impressive title of the best Greek island for hiking was won by Andros in the list of the Daily Telegraph with the 15 top island destinations of Greece.
The prestigious Evening Standard also showcased the excellent local cuisine and the impressive coastline of the destination.
The short distance from Athens, the holidays without crowds and the authenticity are the reasons that led the Guardian to highlight the special island of the Cyclades at the top of Greece in a tribute full of optimism.
Andros and its suitability for family vacations away from the crowds, was later highlighted by the established international medium, Family Traveler.
Finally, the long list of international distinctions would not be complete without German Der Spiegel which among seven destinations in Greece gave the first place to Andros for its dozens of exotic beaches, the unique architecture, the traditional taverns, the impressive vegetation, and the organized walking network.
An ally in the effort to extrovert the destination was state-of-the-art technology. With the help of virtual and augmented reality, the Municipality of Andros participated in numerous digital exhibitions and workshops in Great Britain, Poland, Germany, Romania, Austria, Italy, France and Israel, managed special virtual stands and presented its tourist “product” to dozens of professionals, journalists, and influencers.
“The new data find Andros ready to welcome its friends from Greece and abroad, offering ideal holidays near Athens and away from everyday life. The high vaccination rates, the dozens of alternative activities and the continuous international reports on the island are reflected in the increasing course of bookings for Andros, even after August “, said the Deputy Mayor for Tourism of the Municipality of Andros, Nikos Moustakas.
