Andros Greece took me by surprise. I came here to relax and catch up on work during my five-week trip all over Greece and before heading on a Greek Island cruise. Yet I found my favorite Greek Island yet.
Just 2 hours by ferry from Athens, this unexposed Greek island “should” be overrun by tourists. Yet it remains one of those “hidden gems” that has flown under the radar of mass tourism.
Andros has had a long history as the center of the Greek maritime industry and therefore never had to rely on tourism as an income stream. Only recently have they started expanding their tourism infrastructure with a focus on sustainable, nature-focused tourism.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Europe Up Close.
