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.
Thirasia
The island belongs to the Cyclades group. With a good nine km², Thirasia is only slightly larger than Baltrum, the smallest East Frisian island in the North Sea. The two harbor villages are Korfos and Riva. The main village on Thirasia is Manolas with several hundred inhabitants. Thirasia is not so much a destination for a longer vacation stay as for day tourists from Santorini, the 90 km² island directly opposite and much better known among holidaymakers. The almost untouched nature of Thireasia will really inspire you. Island destinations are the monastery Kimisi Theotokou in 200 m height at the southeast tip, the church Agios Charalambos or the abandoned village Kera. On Thirasia you can relax from your hectic everyday life.
