| Folegandros is one of the most alluring Greek islands. Since the early
1980s tourists have been coming in increasing numbers to Folegandros. Despite
this, as many of the inhabitants earn a living from fishing and agriculture
as they do from tourism.
Those who visit Folegandros, are those who want a taste of genuine island
life rather than a nonstop party, and the locals having seen what happened
to Ios, are determined to keep it this way. Admitelttedly, Folegandros
gets crowded during July and August, but come any other time and it's a
blissful place. The island has several good beaches and a striking landscape
of cutlivated terraces giving way to precipitous cliffs. |
