Folegandros is a small island in the Cyclades Islands. It 's mostly rock: it reaches the maximum width of 4 km, has a coastline of 40 kilometers, most of the area is 200 meters above sea level and reaches the maximum height of 414 meters. Tourism has recently discovered the beauty of this island still untouched, but the roughness of the land that prevents the construction of major resorts on the coast helps to keep away from mass tourism while preserving the charm of Folegandros. Many of its coasts are steep, but you will also find beautiful sandy beaches.

In addition to the port of Karavostasis are the only two places on the island, Hora and Ano Mera. They are connected by the only road on the island.

The beaches of Folegandros
Near the port Karavostasis, as well as numerous tavernas and restaurants, there are several beaches including a pebble called Hochlida, boats also depart from here to reach the more remote beaches. We report the beach of Livadi, located just over a mile from where he is also the Karavostasis Livadi Camping.
Further along the coast is the beach of Katergo, more easily accessible by boat. Right in front of Hora you can also go on the beach Angali along a steep road about 1 km. Angali is located west of the naturist beach of Agios Nikolaos. For lovers of nature walks we recommend the beach of Agios Georgios, which is located north of Ano Mera. In general, the beaches of Folegandros are not equipped, so remember to leave equipped with food and drinks. In high season you can reach by boat trips from the harbor beaches Katergo, Angali, and Agios Nikolaos and Angali Livakadi the beach.
