Folegandros island, Greece | One island...endless choices HD
Folegandros, an island in the Aegean Sea, is one of the most beautiful islands among those of the Cyclades cluster. It is still untouched by the crowds of visitors inundating Greece’s islands in the summertime and, thanks to its mild tourism development, Folegandros has retained the grandeur of its natural wealth and the human dimension of its tiny, yet lively and vibrant communities.
Its cliffs and beaches, its sights and events, not to mention the locals themselves who always have a genuinely warm welcome for visitors, compose a place that is veritably unique: a place that beckons to those who want to try new flavors, to take strolls and hikes of a different kind, to distance themselves from everything, and to live life to its fullest.
Starting at the port of Pireaus, anchors aweigh for Folegandros, between the island of Milos and Santorini!
Φολέγανδρος | Folegandros Greece
Η Φολέγανδρος είναι το νησί του μέτρου. Η ήπια τουριστική ανάπτυξη των δύο τελευταίων δεκαετιών επέτρεψε στο νησί να διατηρήσει στο ακέραιο το χαρακτήρα και τη φυσιογνωμία του. Παράλληλα όμως αναπτύχθηκαν σύγχρονες υποδομές και οργανωμένες τουριστικές υπηρεσίες.
Οι Φολεγανδρίτες συνεχίζουν να φροντίζουν τον τόπο τους και να απολαμβάνουν τη ζωή με τον δικό τους τρόπο που μοιράζονται με τους ολοένα και περισσότερους φίλους του νησιού.
Μετά την άφιξη στο λιμάνι του Καραβοστάση η Φολέγανδρος θα αρχίσει να ξεδιπλώνει τις ομορφιές της σιγά-σιγά. Δεν έχετε παρά να περιπλανηθείτε στα πλακόστρωτα της Χώρας και στα στενά του Κάστρου, να ανεβείτε στο βράχο της Παναγίας με την πανοραμική θέα στο Αιγαίο, να κολυμπήσετε στις ερημικές ή στις πολυσύχναστες παραλίες της, να εξερευνήσετε τη φύση μέσα από τα μονοπάτια που διατρέχουν κάθε γωνιά του νησιού. Αξίζει να γευτείτε το σπιτικό, παραδοσιακό φαγητό στη Χώρα, στον Καραβοστάση, στην Αγκάλη ή στην Άνω Μεριά, και να διασκεδάσετε τις νύχτες με ρακόμελα στις πλατείες της Χώρας.
Folegandros is the island of measure. The mild tourist development of the last two decades has enabled the island to retain its character and character in its entirety. At the same time, however, modern infrastructure and organized tourist services have been developed.
The Folegandrians continue to care for their place and enjoy life in their own way shared with the growing number of friends on the island.
After arriving at the port of Karavostasis, Folegandros will begin to unfold its beauties slowly. All you have to do is wander through the cobbled streets of Chora and the narrow streets of the Castle, climb the Panagia rock with the panoramic view of the Aegean Sea, swim in the deserted or crowded beaches, explore the nature through the paths running every corner Island's. It is worth tasting homemade, traditional food in Chora, Karavostassi, Agali or Ano Meria, and enjoy the nights with raccola in the squares of Chora.
Easter in Folegandros island 2013
On Easter, Folegandros is blooming and all the houses are open: they are waiting for the blessing of the icon of the Virgin Mary.
Easter is celebrated here in a completely unique way, not found anywhere else in Greece: In an atmosphere of joy, with songs, good wishes, festivities and fireworks, every house on the island welcomes the procession with the icon of the Panagia, and wine, raki, sweets and delicacies are offered to all the people accompanying the procession.
On Easter Sunday, the icon passes through Hora and the streets of Kastro, where the island's youngsters welcome the icon with bursts of fireworks. On Monday the icon travels to Ano Meria and all the solitary farmhouses, and on Tuesday it heads for Petoussis and Livadi, ending up in Karavostassis; in the port, all the caiques, boats and yachts moored there are blessed along with all the homes. In the evening, the icon returns to the Panagia monastery, where it remains until the following Easter.
