Folegandros is a small Greek island in the southern part of the Cyclades region in the Aegean Sea near the islands of Milos and Sikinos. Folegandros ferry port is located in the small village of Karavostasi on the south east side of the Island and features connections with numerous neighbouring islands as well as to the Greek mainland. Though Folegandros is increasing its popularity with tourists, it is still an untouched piece of true Greece. With the simple and relaxing atmosphere that reigns all around the island, Folegandros is distinguished by the locals as the island of Peace.
Long, sandy beaches, a picturesque Old Town and beautiful mountainside – Rethymno is unashamedly Greek. Endless resorts exist around Greece, though there aren’t many as alluring as Rethymno; breathtaking ancient architecture graces the centre and crystal blue waters next to golden sands remind you that you’re on an island. The Old Town is a particular highlight - its charm lying in its relative anonymity; the religious buildings and quaint streets stay off the beaten track and have maintained their simplistic values amid the barrage of modern tourism. The wealth of historical culture suggests that Rethymno is a city designed purely to appeal to history lovers, which was once the case, but the introduction of the university has fuelled life into the city in the form of myriad of vibrant bars, vigorous clubs and enchanting restaurants. After indulging in a long night along the strip of bars and clubs, the luxurious beaches are ideal for basking in the sun and exploring the azure blue waters. Beach clubs line the shoreline, offering food and drink perfect for a refreshing treat.
The bus service in operation is typically very reliable and comfortable, with aircon running through the summer months. Rental car companies are also in high demand, and for quick and convenient transport, taxis are readily available throughout the city.
