Folegandros is a small island in the Cyclades, with an area of no more than 33 square kilometers. Mountainous and rocky, the wild beauty of Folegandros enchants every visitor. No matter its recent rapid tourist development, neither the very landscape nor the character of the island has been altered.

But first things first! Upon arriving at Folegandros, you will see Karavostasis, the main port. Many choose to stay here and enjoy relaxing holidays, spending their days by the beach and eating at great local taverns. The rest will probably head to Chora, the island's capital.

Perched on the cliffs at an altitude of 200 meters, Chora is a traditional Cycladic settlement with a distinctive style... One of the things that stands out is the multitude of small squares that you will discover as you stroll in the quaint alleys. Do not forget to visit the medieval settlement in the Kastro area and the church of Virgin Mary with its magnificent views. In Chora you will find great hotels, taverns and bars. And...if you're one of those night owls, here is also the island's nightlife.

As you explore the rest of Folegandros, do pass by Ano Meria and check out the excellent Folklore Museum, as well as by the small villages Livadi and Agali, where you'll have the chance to see stunning beaches.

Holidays in Folegandros will be very special and probably completely different from what you have lived so far. Folegandros is definitely worth- visiting, if you crave for a different, unique experience.
