Gavdos wins a place amongst the 10 hidden paradise islands of the world

Thrillist site publishes a list of 10 hidden paradise islands of the world which remain unknown to many - Historical Gavdos is one of them

Newsroom December 4 09:18

Gavdos – Greece

With fewer than 50 residents and a free naturism camping, the island attracts campers and naturalists from all over the world. Only a few know the island since  It is accessible only by boat and most tourists choose the most popular and closest Crete.

Saba – Caribbean

It has fewer than 2.000 inhabitants and has only one road. There aren’t any sandy beaches and luxurious resorts in this little paradise of 12 square kilometers, but only a potentially active volcano.

z4b

Staniel Cay – Bahamas

The only  5 square kilometers island does not offer many accommodation options. On the other hand the lovers of the sea can explore its amazing underwater caves.

z4c

Palmyra Atoll – Pacific Ocean

An unspoiled garden of Eden with attractions of damaged shipwrecks and a legend for a buried treasure.

z4d

 Utila – Honduras

A tiny island with white beaches, plenty of parties and 12 organized dive spots for those who want to swim with the harmless, but scary whale sharks.

z4k

Lamu – Kenya

Accessible only by wooden boat. Lamu is a strange window into the past, where donkeys are the main form of transportation, the locals live off the fish they catch in the evening and the houses are made of coral and shells, creating a truly exotic getaway.

z4l

Palm Jumeirah – Dubai

An artificial creation with sand and stones in the shape of a palm, which includes luxury villas and shops like Beverly Hills.

z4n

Vieques – Puerto Rico

For over 50 years the US Navy used about two thirds of the island for free shooting, but now is a calm paradise with stunning reefs, free semi-wild horses and striking plants.
