Folegandros
The small Cycladic island of Folegandros is located in the middle of the Aegean Sea between Athens and Crete. At its narrowest point it is just one kilometer wide, but almost 13 kilometers long. Its mountainous eastern part is characterized by steep coasts. The highest elevation of the island is Agios Eleftherios, which rises only 416 meters above sea level. In the west, the landscape is rather hilly with a maximum height of 312 meters (Merovigli) and you can find partially ruined terrace cultures there.
The ferry port on the island of Folegandros offers connections to the other Greek islands of Sikinos, Thira, Thirasia, Paros, Koufonissi, Ios, Amorgos, Kea, Sifnos, Mykonos, Serifos, Milos, Kythnos, Kimolos, Anafi, Syros and Naxos, as well as to the ports of Piraeus and Lavrio on the Greek mainland. A total of 19 routes are offered here several times a day by the shipping companies Hellenic Seaways, SeaJets and Zante Ferries.
Kimolos
The 55 km² island of the Western Cyclades group offers a rather spartan tourism at the beginning of the 2020s. But you can really feel an absolutely authentic atmosphere and enjoy the hospitality of the islanders to the fullest. The almost thousand inhabitants are spread over half a dozen villages and settlements. The island is of volcanic origin and therefore rich in minerals. For you as a vacationer, the main village of Chorio Kimolou, including a former fortress village, is of tourist interest - as are the ruins of ancient tombs on the southwest coast near Elinika beach.
