Village sights in Folegandros

  1. Hora

    The island's capital is the concealed clifftop Hora, one of the Cyclades' most appealing villages. With pretty little churches and a medieval kastro filled with whitewashed houses draped in bougainvillea, the village draws you in to its meandering (traffic-free) main street that drifts happily from leafy square to leafy square. Atmospheric eateries abound.

  2. Ano Meria

    Authentic Ano Meria is a scattered community of small farms and traditional dwellings, where tourism makes no intrusive mark. There are several traditional tavernas here, specialising in the local hand-made pasta dish matsada. The folklore museum (open of an evening), on Ano Meria's eastern outskirts, showcases rural life.
