Andros, one of the Cycladic islands in Greece, is rapidly gaining recognition as a top destination for hikers in Europe.

Recently featured in The Guardian and The Express, the island has been praised for its extensive network of walking trails, traditional stone paths, and a unique mix of mountain, sea, and cultural experiences.

Thanks to the dedicated efforts of the Andros Routes initiative (androsroutes.gr), more than 180 km of old footpaths have been restored, signposted, and maintained to high quality standards. This community-led project has transformed Andros into one of the most walkable islands in Greece, with waymarked circular and linear routes, stunning landscapes, and authentic local encounters.

Whether you are looking for a multi-day trekking experience or short-day walks, Andros offers a trail for everyone. The Andros Route, a 100 km continuous path that crosses the island from north to south, is certified as a Leading Quality Trail – Best of Europe and showcases the very best of the island’s nature and heritage.
