Despite its small size and its relatively long distance from the port of Piraeus, Folegandros has been considered for several years as one of the most preferred summer destinations. No wonder, since it is an island with one of the most beautiful capital-towns that exist, part of which is the Castle, an incredible settlement with old white houses, which was created in the Middle Ages. The rural wilderness of Ano Meria and the Lighthouse of Aspropounta, 97 years old, make this unique Cycladic island even more interest.
The first impression that the newcomer has from Folegandros is from the port of Karavostasi, with the small, nice and rather simple settlement, which has a basic infrastructure for accommodation and food. yachts greece In fact, Karavostasis prepares the ground, gives an idea of Folegandritian beauty until the visitor arrives in Chora. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the town of Folegandros is one of the most beautiful in Greece, with its beauty constituted by squares, streets, plane trees, cafes, tables loaded with handmade pasta (the famous matsata, often served with rooster) , caravals (snails), orange pies and macaroons.
The Castle is also a part of Chora, with its roots dating back to the Middle Ages. Its slightly aged presentation, with the white age-old houses glued next to each other, comes to life from the colored door windows and the little Folegandrites, who like afternoon walks on the paved road.
