PRESIDENT OF P.E.E.D.E. - S. Polikratis

People in Andros, the local government, the three municipalities of the island, united, together with the people in business,  indignant and ready for dynamic intervention, for the fulfilment of the justified requests concerning sea schedules and Andros island connection with Pireas, rest of the islands, Rafina and Thessaloniki, stressing the absolute lack of interest of the central government and especially of the Ministry of Merchantile Marine, point out the following:

Rafina - Andros schedules are unacceptable. The lack of adequate sea connection to and from our island results in our touristic degradation.

  1. ิhe frequency of sea schedules was reduced instead of becoming higher.

  2. There are no schedules between Pireas and Andros.

  3. All ships sail to Andros between 7:30-8:15.

  4. There is no connection with Thessaloniki.

  5. The connection with Syros is not adequate.

  6. There are no sea schedules to the metropolis of the island, Chora.

For all of the above reasons we demand:

  1. The sea schedules should be at least 2 hours apart from each other.

  2. More sea schedules from Rafina, at least one more.

  3. New schedule between Pireas - Andros.

  4. High Speed ships should reach Andros port as well.

  5. Daily connection with the rest of the Cycladic islands, regardless of the Rafina or Pireas connection.

  6. New connection of the metropolis of the island, Chora, with Pireas and Rafina.

  7. Urgently new sea schedule connecting Thessaloniki with Andros.
