A full-day boat trip from Sifnos to beautiful and authentic Folegandros island

Duration: 6-7 hours

Total Distance: 50 Nautical Miles

We exit the bay of Platis Gialos and head southeast. After about 17 nautical miles we arrive at Folegandros. Our first stop is the beach of Agios Georgios, a quiet little port where we can swim in the crystal-clear, green waters. We then head to the southern beaches of Folegandros –Ambeli and then Livadaki, until arriving at the bay of Vathi, where we see two more famous beaches, Agios Nikolaos and then Agkali, where we can swim, have a coffee and enjoy Folegandros’ clear waters.

About 3-4 miles from Agkali, we arrive at the best beach of the island and one of the most popular in the Cyclades, Katergo (the galley). You can see the seabed even at a depth of 10 meters! And there is a small island you can climb onto and dive from into the sea. Katergo is inaccessible by car or other means and the only way to get there is by boat from the nearby Karavostassi, Folegandros’ main port.

After Katergo, we pass the southern cape of Folegandros and arrive to Karavostassi for a long stop. We disembark and take a local bus and visit the Chora of Folegandros. It is a village known as “small Santorini”, amphitheatrically built high above the Aegean Sea. It’s a true princess of the Aegean.

It is worth taking a walk through the streets and enjoying the traditional houses and tavernas. If you are not tired, you can visit Panagia of Folegandros, the island’s famous monastery and enjoy the view. Returning to Karavostassi, we head back to Sifnos.

* During the trip, we offer water and refreshments. Meals aren't included in the price.
