An untouched piece of true Greece

My last spot is Greece was the small Island of Folegandros (32 km.², 650 inhabitants) actually the only new spot in this trip. Folegandros has become fashionable, but it is still an untouched piece of true Greece. On account of the simple and relaxing atmosphere that reigns all around the island we like to distinguish it as the "island of Peace". The Chora (another one!), is so fare closed to cars and motorcycle traffic, and has a unique "center" of three squares in a row, with trees under which to enjoy a drink or food in a quiet, romantic atmosphere. In the gentle breeze passing through the small streets you may feel the perfume of lime trees or of the local (exceptional) bread. Bougainvillea and hibiscus color the small wooden balconies around the Kastro (XIII century). Kastro, the small fortress made by the Venitians in 1210, is the spot, colorful and really beautiful. Folegandros has three small villages, Karavostasi (the port), the Chora (main village) and Ano Meria which are connected by paved roads. What catches the eye immediately is the endless series of "dry-placed" walls that have been erected over the centuries by the inhabitants to create terraces on the sunny slopes of the territory to be able to raise cereals. The church of Panaghia, on the top of a hill, offers a nice walk and a magnificent view of the Chora and of the west coast.Walking this island is a joy as the nature and its perfumes, and its silence are really unique. It is one more for my package of islands in Greece. Maybe I will return for a longer stay. Good bye Greece.
