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.
Ios
If you are looking for a party, you can't avoid the island of Ios. It is considered the true center of nightlife in the Cyclades and is therefore especially popular with young people. However, if you are an early riser and like to have the beach to yourself, you will probably also find your happiness here - because due to the party nights, it usually only gets a bit livelier on the beaches in the afternoon. Worth seeing are especially the monastery Agia Ioannis and the regional wine growing.
