Photographer's Note
The small Island of Folegandros (32 km.², 600 inhabitants), has become fashionable, but it is still an untouched piece of true Greece. On account of the simple and relaxing atmosphere that reigns all around the island we like to distinguish it as the "island of Peace".
The capital Chora, closed to car and motorcycle traffic, has a unique "center" of three squares in a row, with trees under which to enjoy a drink or food in a quiet, romantic atmosphere.
In the gentle breeze passing through the small streets you may feel the perfume of lime trees or of the local bread.
Bougainvillea and hibiscus color the small wooden balconies around the Kastro (XIII century)
The church of Panaghia , on the top of a hill, offers a nice walk and a magnificent view of the Chora and of the west coast.
