After online UK media outlet Express dubbed the Greek island of Andros “a hidden paradise for an authentic Greek experience,” the beautiful island, located in the south Aegean Sea about 10 km southwest of Evia, ensnared the author of a piece on German site Merkur.de.
The German site introduces its readers to the second-largest Greek island of the Cycladic cluster, lauding its idyllic beaches, and exceptional local cuisine in a large feature piece, informing them it is an all-year-round destination.
Highlighting its culture and rich history, which is influenced deeply by the strong maritime tradition of the island, the article praises its exceptional gastronomy.
The “island of the captains”, as the island is known, leaves food lovers wanting more of its fresh seafood and authentic local specialties in the numerous taverns peppered across the land.
While the summer period naturally attracts the bulk of the visitors, the article points out that it is a favorite all year around as it is a target destination during Easter and the local carnival period.
Data from the Andros Port Authority comes to bear out this point, as the island posted a record number of arrivals from May to August 2024, with 186,092 arrivals over the past eight years.
The is the third media outlet in a short time that sang the praises of the island, as it also featured in a piece in British The Times as one of the top six destinations recommended for British travelers before and after summer for their Greek holidays.
