Folegandros (Greece)
Sept. 6 - 8, 2018 (3D2N): Leg 2 of our honeymoon in Greece. Our journey was Milos - Folegandros - Santorini - Athens. We chose Folegandros because it was strategically situated between Milos and Santorini on the ferry path. And we were so glad for the choice we made - the island was very small with population of less than 800. Folegandros is the very prototype for the typical Greek island, with clear waters, white houses, little winding streets, and charming villages. The easiest way to travel around the island is by bus, which makes eight or nine trips each day between Hora and Ano Meria (see schedule below).

Tips
- Hiking routes
- Beach map
- During the peak summer months, it's possible to hire a boat taxi to reach the beaches on the island's southernmost points.
- The hotel will give you a beach umbrella so you just need to pack beach towels with you.
