Small, steep and gloriously low-key, Folegandros keeps one of the most beautiful cliff-top choras in Greece. There is little to “do” beyond long dinners and clifftop walks — which is exactly the point. Connections are seasonal, so check frequency before committing a night.

Times, prices and frequencies are indicative and change by season and operator. Always confirm the live timetable before you book.
