Folegandros Island

Folegandros Island

Folegandros Island is a Greek island located in the southern part of the Aegean Sea, administered under the South Aegean region, and is part of the Cyclades. The island includes three small villages, among which are Chora and Karavostasis.

Folegandros Island is one of the most pristine and untouched islands in Greece. For those who have grown tired of conventional and restrictive forms of tourism, it offers an ideal haven of tranquility. You’ll find clean streets paved with stone slabs, white buildings adorned with colorful flowers, Greek Orthodox churches with blue domes, and turquoise waves gently lapping against pebble beaches. You can also wander through the narrow alleys of Chora, climb up to the Panagia rock for a panoramic view of the Aegean Sea, swim at quiet or lively beaches, explore every corner along the island’s network of winding paths, and savor delicious homemade traditional cuisine.

Each year, the Folegandros Cultural Association also hosts painting, ceramics, and vibrant musical evenings, while swimming and sailing competitions organized by the island’s maritime association attract visitors from around the world.
