Folegandros - Chora
Alternative Cyclades: Folegandros & Milos
Description
Think Greek islands and no doubt the whitewashed buildings and blue-domed churches of Santorini, breathtaking beaches and glamorous nightlife of Mykonos spring to mind, but if you are looking for untouched beauty and some peace and quiet for your next holiday in Greece, their smaller, lesser known neighbors provide an equally tempting slice of paradise. You have probably never heard of these islands before but if looking for tranquility, traditional villages, Cycladic architecture and gastronomic paradise, you are in the right page!
Folegandros small island (32 km2, 650 inhabitants), has become fashionable, but it is still an untouched piece of true Greece. On account of the simple and relaxing atmosphere that reigns all around the island we like to distinguish it as the “island of Peace”.
