A village on the edge of the world

About Chora, Folegandros

Chora is the reason most people come to Folegandros: a white village perched on a sheer cliff, its squares shaded by trees and filled with tavernas, and a kastro quarter whose houses form a defensive wall. Life moves slowly, evenings are long and sociable, and there is no big-club nightlife. It is an island for walkers, couples and anyone who wants the Cyclades at their most unspoilt.

Why it's on our list

  • Clifftop setting
