In the context of the dedication, beautiful Astypalaia is a Dodecanese island that is “aesthetically” more reminiscent of a Cyclades island. The Country with its mills, the beaches and above all the feeling that time stops here fascinate Italian travelers. The revolutionary “green” project which will offer 100% sustainable mobility to vehicles is making a strong impression internationally. Second place is taken by Naxos which, as the list editor points out, is a great place for those who love the real Greece.full of fine sandy beaches, mountain villages, alternative activities and picturesque and enchanting squares dominated by plane trees.
The list is being completed with Skopelos which according to My Greek Salad it is a destination where the blue of the sea and the green of nature are offered in generous quantities and which, despite its reputation as the island of Mamma Mia, has managed to remain authentic, quality and peaceful. The representatives of the three municipalities who, in consultation with the website, systematically inform the Italian traveling public, refer to the trends that are shaping the new season.
“In recent years, Astypalaia has “invested” in actions aimed at strengthening extroversion, with the result that it becomes a pole of attraction for new and “traditional” markets, before and after the tourist peak. Sustainability , the main component of our new identity, now “touches” a category of conscious and constantly increasing tourists”, says Deputy Mayor for Tourism of Astypalaia Municipality Kostas Kambylis.
“Naxos is growing to become a destination that escapes the sun-sea model and offers a non-mass tourism “product” at reasonable prices that our visitors enjoy from spring to fall. Hiking, cycling, diving, water sports, island hopping in the Lesser Cycladesgastronomy, traditions and rich history are the point of reference for thousands of tourists from Europe, America, Australia and even Asia who want to experience what they have dreamed of”, underlines the Deputy Mayor of Tourism of Naxos and Small Cyclades Vangelis Katsaras.
“Skopelos is a unique case of a destination that has not been “beaten” by big cinematic success, but remains authentic, progressing steadily and developing smoothly. Focused exhibition, weddings, activity options alternatives and the inextricable link between local production and art with tradition and untouched natural beauty in a Mamma Mia atmosphere led to record attendance last year and created new dynamics for 2024.” said Eva Karamesini, chairwoman of the Skopelos Municipality Tourism Committee.
