Folegandros is part of the Cyclades island complex and it is one the smallest islands you will ever visit. This means that there are not many things to do and many places to visit, but on the plus sign you will not get tired with distances (10 kilometers is the maximum route on Folegandros). Although it is becoming more and more popular with tourists, the traditional style of Folegandros has been preserved by the locals (no modern buildings, plastic chairs, etc).
The thing that is most special about Folegandros is its main settlement (Chora), due to its incredible beauty and traditional character. The atmospheric alleys, the freshly painted traditional houses and the full of flowers plazas make Folegandros one of the most graphic islands in Greece. The town itself is built on the edge of a 200+ meter high cliff, giving it a great view.
Folegandros has almost no vegetation. It is like a huge and steep rocky mountain coming out of the sea. It is a wild but beautiful landscape, truly breathtaking. That is why it is sometimes referred to as the "iron island".
