Folegandros - Hora
|
|
Hora
|
|
the capital of Folegandros is one of the most
beautiful villages perched on cliffs 300 meters above the sea. In the old
settlement of the medieval Kastro -built in the 13th century-
the outer walls of the houses form a defensive precinct. Above the town, a zig-zag
path leads the church of Analipsis.

Agali
|
|
(50 minutes walk from Hora) is an attractive
narrow bay with the best beach of the island. There a couple of tavernas and a few rooms.
Agios Nikolaos -sandy beach- and Fira are two beaches within a walking distance from Agali.
A seasonal caique service runs between Agali and karavostassi.
|
|
Ano Meria
|
|
(5 Km from Hora) is an old village exposed to
meltemi. There a few tavernas and rooms to let. The Ecological and Folklore Museum is worth a visit.
Agios Georgios and Livadaki are two remote and unspoiled beaches.
|
|
Chrissospilia
|
|
is a cave with stalagmites and stalactites.
As its aperture is just above the sea level, in the north cast of cliffs, you will need a boat and guidance
to access it.
|
|
Karavostassis
|
|
is the port of the island with some tavernas, hotels and studios.
There is a small beach with crystal clear water. A little further from Karavostassis
is Livadi bay with a campsite.
