AROUND
Reachable only by ferry from neighboring Santorini, Folegandros on the southern edge of the Cyclades, is largely free of the tourists hordes and resorts with the entry point through the little harbour town of Karavostasis, on the east coast. Its rugged windswept beauty and remote location make for a great alternative to the more boisterous and populated islands in the chain. The main medieval town of Hora commands an extraordinary spot along the cliffs with its castle fortress dating to the 13th century.
Closed to all motorized traffic, it's an authentic slice of life with great cafes and tightly knit tree lined squares. The rural village of Ana Meria is the only other settlement on the island and there are several quiet beaches most of which require a bit of a hike making them well worth it. Ambeli Beach is within walking distance of the house with Agios Georgios an hour's hike outside of Ano Meria. Vathi Bay, Angali and Agios Nikolaos are below the clifftops of Hora's northern road with breathtaking views on your way down.
