10Folegandros — The quiet Cycladic beauty
Folegandros feels like Santorini before the crowds arrived. Its clifftop village, Chora, is one of the prettiest in the Aegean, with whitewashed alleys and bougainvillea-draped balconies.
Wander the narrow paths to Ano Meria, a traditional village showcasing the island’s rural history. The beaches — Agali, Katergo, and Livadaki — are peaceful, with dramatic cliffs and turquoise waters. Water sports are minimal here, which makes swimming and snorkeling extra relaxing. Dining in Folegandros is a delight: try chorta (wild greens) and fresh seafood at family-run tavernas overlooking the Aegean.
