8Folegandros – The Quiet Jewel of the Cyclades

With its dramatic cliffs and postcard-perfect Chora, Folegandros is like Santorini before the crowds. The island’s beauty is raw and tranquil, appealing to travelers who prefer calm over commotion.

Wander the cobbled streets of Chora, perched high above the sea, and watch the sunset from the Church of Panagia. Hike scenic trails, swim at Agali or Livadi, and dine in tavernas that still cook family recipes passed down for generations. Folegandros is Cycladic elegance without the pretense.
