Folegandros is a dramatically barren island, a rocky haven on which life has existed for millennia. For the most part, life is very traditional here and the wandering visitor is often greeted by a stray goat or chicken. The main town of Chora has a fortified quarter called Kastro, where the 13th century houses form a stony defensive wall. The beaches are sand or shingle and the clean waters are great for snorkelling and fishing. Agali is the best known (and busiest in high season) beach on the island, but there other quieter beaches and some so tucked away that they are only accessible by boat or foot. There are few bars but, most nightlife is based around relaxed tavernas.

Ano Meria offers authentic tavernas, an Ecological and Folklore Museum and an unmistakable rural way of life, you can walk to Agali beach from here.

Folegandros is connected to the Athens port of Piraeus by ferry and also to many of the other islands.
