For travelers planning their next spring adventure, the Greek island of Andros in the Cyclades is the top European destination to visit this April, according to a guide compiled by the UK travel blog Wanderlicious.

The guide highlights Mediterranean islands with crystal-clear waters, charming countryside villages adorned with fields of flowers, and ancient cities with fewer tourists—catering to every type of traveler.

“April means wild garlic in Scotland, fresh strawberries in Spain, and dreamy seafood in Greece,” says the editor, urging readers to embrace spring’s sunny days while exploring Europe’s hidden gems.

Andros stands out as the top European destination this April, with temperatures ranging from 15 to 20 degrees Celsius and up to 13 hours of sunshine.

“Andros is number 1 on this list,” the editor underlines. “Andros isn’t like the tourist-packed Greek islands you hear about – it’s a little quieter, a little greener, and absolutely dreamy in April.”

Visitors can enjoy nature with scenic hikes through lush valleys, past waterfalls, and up to breathtaking viewpoints. Afterward, they can relax on unspoiled beaches and take a refreshing dip in crystal-clear waters.

Chora, Andros’ main town, offers a blend of charming, whitewashed buildings, cozy cafés, and fascinating museums. The seaside town of Batsi is also a must-visit spot. For food lovers, the island’s local almond desserts (kaltsounia) are a treat, along with traditional cheeses and a fresh Greek salad.

In response to the Wanderlicious guide, Nikos Moustakas, municipal councilor for tourism of the Municipality of Andros, highlights that the island provides quality accommodations, good food, and a peaceful atmosphere at reasonable prices.

“The range of options for exploring nature, picturesque villages, and excellent museums, just two hours from Athens, make the destination ideal in spring — especially this year when the Easter holidays will offer the opportunity for relaxation in April,” he told Greek media.

With Greek Easter falling on April 20, the island offers a unique chance to experience rich religious traditions, creating a deeply spiritual atmosphere around one of Orthodoxy’s most significant celebrations.
