Folegandros Reviews -General

Folegandros is very dramatic. Beaches are beautiful though a little difficult to reach if you travel without a car and you don't want to rent one. We stayed in Karovastasis because we thought we could go easily to Katergo beach (on the guide it was written also "other beaches") but it was too windy to go there and so we went on the other side but it took for ever to go there and very expensive (between the bus and the boat). The centre of Folegandros is amazing and I agree it is one of the most beautiful among the Cyclades. I'm very concerned about the next developpement of the island. They are working to enlarge the port and I can see it's getting more and more touristy that is a good thing for the economy of the island but it can be a problem to keep the particular and authenthic atmosphere of the island. Keep the new urbanization under control. A lot of construction is on the way. Also, arrange earlier and more frequent bus and boat rides. 11 o' clock is just too late. I would not reccomend to spend a long period on Folegandros, especially if you don't have a car and if you have babies or children. Moving around by public transportation is quite exphensive (7 euros for a boat ride to go to the best beaches). If you want to go, you better go in the very next future. I can see that it is going to be different as soon as the new port will be finished. They are also building a lot of new houses.
