The island is the main island of the western Cyclades and thankfully still retains its wild beauty and the less touristic character even though it is obvious the gradual but steady commercialization (as happens in Amorgos).
Because of its location in the Aegean, and the other islands there, pull them over time
The island that the researchers believe was named by the king of Crete Folegandros, son of King Minos, who was the first who resided.
The rooms because of the small island, it is generally expensive and hard to find although it is possible to find cheap. The places where you can stay is Karavostasis (port), Chora, Ano Meria, the Meadow (camping) and a few there and Angali.
The town is built 200 meters above sea level and within the castle (although do not expect to see Walls)

Those who resist or do not want to squeeze the boat let us choose the path of the Meadow (30-40 minutes).

The karpouzenia biskotenia and two of the traditional desserts worth trying one there.
Until next time, until next summer will agnantefo
