Discover The Gorgeous Green Island Of Andros | Greece Travel

[@kriyapada]

I'm three minutes in and loving it! I've had interest in and strong feeling-connection with certain aspects of ancient Greece for years. I was planning to learn the language for both personal and academic reasons; but wow... I don't know how -- until a couple of days ago -- I missed the fact that this is undeniably one of the most beautiful countries on the planet! I can't stop looking up videos to see it! You look lovely and joyful in the video by the way 🙂Thanks for sharing.

[@agirlandherpassport]

Thank you! It is a stunningly beautiful country.

Greetings from a Greek in Athens!!! I discovered your channel a few days ago! Congratulations on your knowledge, your love with Greece and keep on sharing our country and culture!!! 👏👏👏 Wish you all the best!!!

[@agirlandherpassport]

Thank you so much!!

[@stephanieganas6872]

Tiffany, I enjoyed your tour of Andros. It's so nice that you can leave Athens and travel to nearby islands for a short getaway. You do very well adapting to the Greek culture and traditions, hence Easter traditions, epitaphio. It is a beautiful service in the churches when everyone lights a candle and sings. Too bad it was windy, rainy and cool but at least you got to see a new island and felt refreshed. The weather will only get better soon enough. Happy Spring!

[@agirlandherpassport]

It was nice to getaway despite the weather. It was the same in Athens so you might as well be on an island.

[@andrzejkorytkowski8151]

I have never planned visiting Andros as there are so many dream destinations in Greece for me, but I guess I will ad Andros to this dream list.

[@agirlandherpassport]

It was not high on my list but I really enjoyed it.

[@ErisstheGoddessofmanhwas]

Omg , the moment the video opened and i saw this beautiful view behind you i was in awe .Another island to visit in my bucket. Thank you for making this video .

[@agirlandherpassport]

It is stunning!

[@gianni1632]

Really appreciated this video. We've been to 22 islands so far but have yet to go to Andros. Thanks!

[@agirlandherpassport]

I’m so glad to hear that! It’s a great one

[@JohnAleman1]

Lovely vlog brings back memories visited about 30years ago returned about 5 years ago still not much changed and still not too full of tourists 🍻

[@agirlandherpassport]

I think it will stay that way since you have to leave from Rafina. It was refreshing

[@soulcrewblue8629]

Been to Andros and close by Tinos many times, departing from Rafina, both gorgeous islands in so many ways will return for sure, cannot wait, Great video. Love from Wales.

Thank you for this latest island travelogue -- never been to Andros, but it looks like it's right up my alley. I commented on a previous video that I was hoping to visit family in Greece this Easter, and tag along with my cousin's family to her husband's family's home in Zakynthos, but alas, I couldn't make it. Hoping to visit maybe late summer/early Fall instead. Looking forward to your upcoming adventures. :)

[@agirlandherpassport]

You’re welcome! I hope you can visit soon.

[@mikefilimon1584]

I will never tire of Greece!

[@livinlavidacosta]

Another great video Tiffany!

[@agirlandherpassport]

Thank you!

[@sled7782]

The water looks so nice, crossing the stone bridge could have taken your stroll to the next level. Then we could have seen the lighthouse from the ancient fort 😮. The risotto looks great. Looks like you got a little sun.

[@agirlandherpassport]

That wasn’t going to happen. I am not breaking bones. Haha. It was just hot in the sun.

[@sled7782]

I don’t blame you. Love the awesome narration and cinematography.

[@agirlandherpassport]

@@sled7782Thanks!

[@cyclops92]

Great vlog but slightly disappointed you didn't cross the bridge, overcome your fears Tiffany Take care, you look like you're back to your old self again

[@agirlandherpassport]

Thanks. I’m good not breaking any bones. I’m not quite there but getting there.

[@taurus167]

Funny how you and @GabrielTravelerVideos ,two fellow Americans chose the same island to be at the same time. Pity you didn't meet! Would have beel fun!

[@agirlandherpassport]

Yeah that is interesting! I booked this way back in February so it would be interesting to know when he decided to go.

[@taurus167]

@@agirlandherpassport Well I wish I knew as well,he never reveals the next destination unfortunately. But I'm hoping one day to see a video of him (and yours btw)from Lefkada! Ionion islands are beautiful as well! 🙂We are expecting you this summer! Have fun!

@taurus167 Thank you! I was in the Ionian last summer. 😊

You made it to my family island. If you had waited about 1 month more you would have seen all the people there for the summer. August is the best time, but many many people there at this time. Kalo Pasca

[@agirlandherpassport]

I loved it. People were so friendly.

[@jjulian1783]

Tiffany, what can you tell us about the anti-tourism demonstrations? Have you seen anything outside of Athens? Also, Gin & Tonics; THE go-to spring/summer cocktail.

[@tanyab244]

Beautiful place to visit. How long does it take from Piraeus with the fast ferry?

[@agirlandherpassport]

You can’t go from Piraeus. You have to go from Rafina and it was about two hours on the slow ferry. I think it’s an hour by fast ferry.

[@thomasj3421]

Nice vid. I have never visited this island. Have heard that it's a bit boring (not many things to do there).

[@agirlandherpassport]

Thanks! There is but not over a holiday, unfortunately. Food was outstanding.

[@TheGlitterGlobe]

Tiffany-How would you rate Andros for the availability and adaptability (and reliability) of getting gluten free food? The island I’ve been going to for the past ten years gets an F for fail. I mostly cook for myself there. :)

[@agirlandherpassport]

I didn’t ask for gluten free. I just opted for things without obvious gluten except for the gyro obviously. So I had risotto, pork, lamb and refused the offering of bread. So if you are allergic then you would have to be more careful than me.

[@lemonandlime911]

As a coeliac who travelled to a few of the Cycladic islands Sept 2024, I didn’t find it too hard. Generally the wait staff understood. I used a translation card which seemed to help, as well as travelling with a guide who could help translate.

[@TheGlitterGlobe]

@@lemonandlime911 I speak enough Greek to communicate this but it seems an unfamiliar concept on my little island and the results are often not safe (or the silverware arrives inside a basket of bread). Mine is a severe allergy and I know almost immediately. I’m shopping for a safer island, lol!

No, you have to go from Rafina for direct.

[@minkl07]

Sorry, but American service is horrendous. Mostly anything is better!

[@Pete-uo1ei]

It’s funny how Americans find everything amazing, adorable, etc. Andros is ok, nothing special, and, of course, wannabe Mykonos or Santorini (so that locals can cash more;)…

[@agirlandherpassport]

I am allowed my opinion and my friend, which is Greek felt the same. It is definitely not a wanna be Mykonos or Santorini. It was affordable and the people were extremely friendly.

[@ALEXANDER-dl9cl]

They dont need.... Andros are the shipowners....

[@mn7486]

Andros is an island that does not care at all to be Mykonos or Santorini. As a matter of fact you could say that the only visitors that are really welcome there are the locals who live elsewhere and return to their island during holidays. Why you may ask? Shipping money. Andros, Chios, Spetses, the three big ones. They frown at your chump change you petty tourist!

[@jimjim8645]

Just FYI Andros (mostly) and Tinos (secondly) are the least touristy wannabe islands and that's from the beginning... so they didn't invest in ''touristic infrastructure''... In fact just few years ago these islands were ''we don't want any tourism''... and that's mostly because they thought they could leave on agriculture, livestock, mining, fishing and shipping! Andros is supposed to be the island were (many) greek shipowners are having their houses (vilas)...

[@Pete-uo1ei]

Today a major Greek newspaper had an article about Andros. Most comments are not very positive. Super expensive hotels or rooms, cash under the table, no beaches, no green, etc. Unfortunately, greedy Greek „businessmen „ ask outrageous prices, and that is not only in Andros. The same room in another island that I rent 2019 90€ they asked last year 180€. No thanks, there are other nicer places in the world e.g Italy, Croatia, with more genuine people. You live your myth in Greece…
