Folegandros enjoys a superb climate.

Situated with the Aegean Sea to the north and the Cretan Sea to the south, the cooling Meltemi winds soften the strongest heat of the sun, even in the middle of summer.

The island is only 32 square kilometers, yet, despite its small size, the dramatic landscape makes it seem much larger. You have the chance to get to know the small population, yet also enjoy the privacy of small beaches and grottos on the coast.

The 742 inhabitants live in three small villages (Hora, the timeless Ano Meria and Karavostasis).

The island has a rugged natural beauty unmatched in the Cyclades.

As you explore it you'll find innumerable tiny whitewashed churches, even in the most remote areas.

It is a feast for the eye, the painter or the photographer. The contrast of rough landscape, white houses, the blue sea and the famous clear light has enchanted artists for decades.
