FOLEGANDROS. THE ISLAND OF PEACE.

 Folegandros an untouched piece of true Greece with a relaxing atmosphere, hospitality and nice beaches, close to Santorini and Milos.

 Folegandros has three small villages, Karavostasi (the port), the Chora, Ano Meria and Agali Beach that are connected by paved roads.What catches the eye immediately is the endless series of "dry-placed" walls that have been erected over the centuries by the inhabitants to create terraces on the sunny slopes of the territory to be able to raise cereals.
Folegandros Chora, closed to car and motorcycle traffic, has a unique "center" of three squares in a row, with trees under which to enjoy a drink or food in a quiet,romantic atmosphere. In the gentle breeze passing through the small streets you may feel the perfume of lime trees or of the local (exceptional) bread. Bougainvillea and hibiscus color the small wooden balconies around the Kastro (XIII century).

At Folegandros the church of Panaghia , on the top of a hill, offers a nice walk and a magnificent view of the Chora and of the west coast. Also, the area of the Kastro, a small fortress made by the Venetians in 1210, a small village into the Chora village, will take you back to the Middle Ages.The village of Ano Merià is spread over cultivated fields and "dry-placed" walls and has typical "kafeneio" and taverns. It has also a Folkloristic Museum, open from 10 to 18.
