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.
