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.
