Travel Guide - Folegandros

Folegandros is an island of moderation. The gradual development of tourism over the last two decades has allowed the island to retain its traditional features while introducing modern amenities and organized tourist services.

Folegandros is just 104 nautical miles from Piraeus. During the peak season there are four sailings per week, and the journey lasts nine hours on the Western Cyclades ferry route and eleven hours on the Eastern Cyclades ferry routes.

Following arrival at Karavostasis, visitors are immediately drawn to the narrow lanes of Hora and from there to exploring the passages of Kastro, the old fortified settlement, and the Panayia Promontory with its panoramic view over the Aegean. Next on the itinerary is swimming at either the island's secluded beaches or its more popular ones and exploring the island via a network of footpaths. Home cooking offered in all restaurants is also considered an attraction.
