Folegandros is still an unknown destination for many people, because the island is not as famous as its neighbouring islands Santorini and Milos. Yet the island in the south of the Cyclades is beautiful and diverse. Here are our tips on how to make your holiday on Folegandros unforgettable:
1. Choose accommodation in the Chora
The Chora is one of the most beautiful ones in the Cyclades, has a great atmosphere both in the morning and in the evening and is well connected for many activities.
2. Take a day trip to Livadaki & Agios Nikolaos beach
Livadaki is best reached by boat. Our tip: Start with the taxi boat at Agali beach – go from here to Livadaki beach – from there you can continue with the same taxi boat to Agios Nikolaos and have lunch in one of the tavernas. In the evening you can simply walk along the coast back to your starting point.
3.Visit the Panagia Church in the Chora at sunset
the view is unique & breathtaking.
4. Take a hike to Katergo beach
not only is the hike a great experience, but the view along the way and the beach itself are incredibly beautiful.
5. Bring a parasol
None of the beaches on Folegandros have sunbeds or parasols, and natural shade is also rare, so we recommend you always bring your own parasol.
And last but not least: Just enjoy it & let yourself be enchanted! Folegandros radiates so much peace and beauty that you can only fall in love with this island.
