Review:
Named after the son of King Minos, Folegandros is one of the smallest inhabited islands in the Cyclades and captivates visitors with its stunning white sandy beaches, gin-clear waters, and beautiful architecture. Traditionally a place of exile, the remote and off-the-beaten-track island is popular with artists and photographers for its towering cliffs, terraced fields, wild, untamed landscapes, and charming towns. The capital town of the island (Hóra) features sugar-cube whitewashed houses showcasing traditional Cycladic architecture, balconies draped with beautiful bougainvillea, winding cobblestone streets, and high on a hill above the sea is the Venetian castle Kástro.
