to & from

If you are traveling through Europe and want to go to Greece but don’t have a ton of time, this is the guide for you. You can spend months traveling all the incredible Greek islands as they all have something unique to offer. This trip combines visiting Santorini, one of the most scenic islands, with Folegandros – a tiny hideaway island where the Greeks go on holiday.

Start your trip flying directly into Santorini. (We spent three nights in Santorini and one week in Folengandros.) Ferries run from Santorini to Folengandros at least three times a week. The Fast Ferry Sea Jet reaches Folegandros in 45 minutes. Don’t be surprised if the ferries are running late, get there on time with a bottle of wine and wait. This is Greece!

Where to Stay

Anemomilos Apartments (Folegandros). We LOVE this hotel. It sits right on top of the beautiful town of Chora in Folegandros. The service is spectacular, pool is incredible and we dream about the brunch overlooking the ocean. The hotel staff are also amazing. We would pick this hotel every time.
