Folegandros, our new Cycladic crush

The first (and longest) stop of our Island Hopping holiday on the Greek islands this summer, that painted our summer dreams with brilliant blue, was Folegandros.

Folegandros An island, personified by Greek Goddess Artemis.Its wild beauty swept us in from the very first moment we stepped foot on Karavostassis, its main harbor. However, we hadn’t seen anything yet. Climbing the road to Chora is when Folegandros began to reveal its unbeatable charm.

On the island that took its name from the son of Minos, you will also find a magnificent cliff at Chora, which is surrounded by the endless blue of the Aegean Sea. Here the breeze takes away any pressing thoughts you may have brought with you from the city.

Folegandros has a natural wild beauty and its picturesqueness makes you feel sublime.Lose yourself in charming Chora, with its’ many squares and a breeze from the past. Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful of the Cyclades. A Chora-magnet with narrow paved alleys, picturesque houses, and chic tourist shops await you. For drinks or Raki, the road will drive you to Beez, BaRaki, and Astarti. Going from one square to another, you will feel as if you’re being carried away from one feast to another celebration.
