The beauty of Folegandros is unparalleled, being distinct in it's rugged landscape! When I visited the island it reminded me of a lunar landscape.
I spent almost most of my afternoons sipping a glass of "frappe" watching the sun go down behind the island's steep mountain ridges, listening to some soft music. Your evenings are better spent in the town
of Folegandros, (about 1 km from "Karavostasi", the island's port). Everything starts at the town square which offers a varied choice of local foods, cafes and music bars. Do take a walk through the town's
castle, "Kastro", which is a Venetian castle, now converted into a hotel (Telephone: (2286) 41230 13 rooms.). Around 1:00 AM, the crowd moves on to the couple of bars on the outskirts of town for some indoor
or outdoor dancing. The landscape, music and the dark, star-studded August night make for an unforgettable inpression. |
