FOLEGANDROS TRAVEL GUIDE

Folegandros Greece is one of the most picturesque islands of the Cyclades island chain. Its wild natural landscape and peaceful atmosphere make this island a great destination for relaxing holidays away from the hustle and bustle!

The main village of the island, Chora Folegandros, is a very picturesque place not only to visit but also to stay at. It boasts the traditional Cycladic architecture, as it is full of little whitewashed houses, colorful windows and doors, blue-domed churches, and narrow streets. The numerous Folegandros hotels located in Chora are perfect for a romantic stay with sea view.

On a hill above Chora sits the beautiful whitewashed Panagia church, the trademark of Folegandros. From Panagia church, you can marvel at the breathtaking view of the Aegean Sea and watch the sun falling into the horizon line, painting the white houses of the village in the shades of gold...Pure bliss! Another place you need to visit in Chora, is Kastro, the Venetian quarter that is the oldest place in Chora.

Except for being a beautiful destination, Folegandros is also an ideal base for island hopping to the rest of the Cyclades islands.
