Folegandros is well off the beaten path for most charter yachts. Somewhat stark at first glance, the only real greenery in the island gathers around the islands capital of Chora which is built precariously close to a 200m cliff edge. This is a pleasant and rather sophisticated place to make for on your sailing holiday and some would argue that the views from Chora rival those of Santorini.
The main port of Folegandros is Karavostasi or “Ship Port”. This is the only “safe” option for yachts on Folegandros unless conditions are favourable when the bay of Vathi makes a nice alternative. Karavostasi has reasonable protection from the meltemi but can be bouncy if there has been a prolonged blow. Make sure your anchor is well in and keep as far off the quay as possible. No power, water or fuel available.
You can walk or catch the bus up to the old town of Chora from the port. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from here.
Supplies are limited on the island as they rely of ferries to bring most of their everyday essentials.
