A Day of Beaches & Hiking in Folegandros

An untouched piece of true Greece, Folegandros sits close to Santorini and Milos, offering the same beautiful beaches and relaxing atmosphere but with fewer crowds. Traffic is banned from the island's three villages meaning the sense of peace continues throughout them. Today, you'll have the day free to spend as you wish. This is the perfect opportunity to set out to explore some of the beautiful beaches and perhaps even hit one of the many hiking paths to absorb that wild island beauty.

Day 5
The Pirate Dock of Sarakiniko
Close
Today you'll have the day free so you can visit Sarakiniko, a uniquely beautiful place to enjoy the sea and swim. The landscape resembles a lunar since it lacks any trace of vegetation and the volcanic rocks which have been formed are plain white. The name derives from the Saracene pirates who used this area as a base. In Sarakiniko, you'll find a small beach for the sand lovers but most of all beautiful rocks for spreading out your towel and diving into the crystal clear waters.
