The Cyclades island is in 5th place according to the Spanish newspaper El Pais
Andros is included in the new list of ten ideal alternative European destinations, proposed for 2024 by the newspaper El Pais.
“Without the large crowds of tourists, these places have nothing to envy from the big tourist names of Europe”, emphasize in the introduction the travel editors of the popular Spanish newspaper who start the article with an impressive photo of the well-known beach of the Cycladic island, “Tis Grias To Pidima” and at the same time urge their millions of readers to escape from the trivial.
In the 5th place of the list is Andros which, as the newspaper states, “is identified with hiking and is a very interesting case among the Greek islands. The sparkling beaches, archaeological sites, mountainous areas, impressive vegetation, neoclassical mansions and beautiful villages have escaped the “nets” of mass tourism, while the Andros Routes initiative has created an impressive walking network”.
It is noted that the Municipality of Andros has already received positive comments for the new international distinction in the context of informing professionals and travel organizers from Spain and other markets. “Andros is a dynamic destination that can make a difference. The proximity from Athens and the authenticity together with nature, activities and the arts create a unique “yeast” of excellent quality”, adds the mandated Municipal Councilor for Tourism in the Municipality of Andros, Nikos Moustakas.
El Pais’ “ten list” of alternative destinations includes Tartu in Estonia, Treviso, Kufstein in Austria, Lapland, Freiburg, Delft in the Netherlands, Braga in Portugal, the Swiss National Park and the Norwegian Senja. .
