Andros Research Center
Contributing to a sustainable future for Andros
Our organization consists of a “colorful” human mosaic. About 50 people, connected by love for the rich nature, biodiversity and cultural heritage of Andros, from 2009 until today, join hands and offer volunteer work with one goal and unique: a sustainable Andros!
See our projects and actions below:
From 2009 until today we have revived a network of 180km of old hiking trails of Andros, making it the only island in Europe that has a continuous long-distance hiking trail with the prestigious European quality certification Leading Quality Trail by the European Confederation – European Ramblers Association.
In October 2018, about 1000 pairs of feet walked the paths of Andros with us, within the framework of the 1st Andros on Foot Festival. The enthusiasm of those who participated in the 1st Andros on Foot Festival, also supported the organization of the 2nd Andros on Foot Festival in October 2019.
Our new project for a cleaner and greener Andros for everyone. The goal is to change behavior at the individual and collective level and specifically to reduce disposable plastics, increase composting and recycling.
