Folegandros
The secret jewel of the Cyclades
Perched atop dizzying cliffs, the Chora of Folegandros is one of the most beautiful villages in the Cyclades. Small, preserved, intimate: this island is a refuge for those who seek the essential. Dramatic landscapes, pure light and the charm of a Greece that has stayed true to itself.

What makes Folegandros unique
Chora, the main village, clings to the edge of a cliff 200 metres above the sea. Its whitewashed lanes, bougainvillea cascading over the walls, shaded squares where you settle in for a Greek coffee: everything here breathes serenity. The church of Panagia, crowning the promontory, offers a breathtaking panorama at sunset. Coastal trails lead to secluded coves with crystal-clear waters. The local cuisine, simple and flavourful (goat cheese, capers, grilled fish) reflects this island without artifice.
When to visit Folegandros
Spring (May to June) is ideal: the island is calm, wildflowers carpet the hills and the temperature invites a leisurely stroll. In autumn, the mild weather lingers and the sunsets take on sumptuous hues. Discover Sifnos and Serifos, its equally enchanting neighbours, or browse all our trips in the Cyclades.
