Express discovers Andros in its recent feature, urging its millions of readers to prefer this “secret” Greek paradise over tourist-crowded destinations. According to the British newspaper, “Andros in the Cyclades is a dream destination just two hours from Attica, with serene natural beauty and splendid neoclassical mansions. Explorers can enjoy the rich local fauna, including olives, for an authentic Greek experience with marked trails crossing the entire island. Among other historical treasures, the monasteries of Zoodochos Pigi in Batsi and Panagia Tromarchion in Korthi are marvels with a plethora of relics and manuscripts. The 11th-century castle of Faneromeni, the island’s largest medieval city-fortress, is also worth a visit. Additionally, the famous Museum of Modern Art, hosting unique collections of sculptures and paintings, steals the show. The Archaeological Museums in Chora and Paleopolis also offer a fascinating glimpse into the island’s rich and varied history.”
As Nikos Moustakas, the appointed Municipal Councilor of Tourism of Andros Municipality, notably adds, “we are capitalizing on the new trend that sees international travelers trusting the vacation choices of locals. It is a fact that the Greeks are placing their trust in Andros again this year, not only during the peak tourist months but also off-season, thanks to the efforts of many businesses, local agencies, and the Municipality. In this direction, we utilize a network of contacts to specifically target our invitation. We are particularly grateful to the EOT for supporting our promotional efforts.”
