Renting a yacht is the ideal way to discover the hidden beauties of Folegandros. Folegandros or Polykandros is an island of the Cyclades. It is located between the Cycladic islands of Milos and Sikinos. It is a picturesque island with wild beauty, endless capes and beaches, steep cliffs, and pristine bays. Several of the island's beaches are difficult to access and almost impossible without a yacht charter. The island's port is Karavostasis at the southeastern end of the island and is 22 miles from Santorini. You can easily find the ideal yacht of your choice from Karavostasi Marina or any other marina of the Cyclades. You can directly contact the owners of the vessels for the ideal yacht, or simply allow a BednBlue travel expert to guide you with some suggestions. 

You have plenty of options:

With a motor yacht charter in Folegandros, you can explore the heavenly islands of the Cyclades at a faster pace, compared to other vessels. Some of these islands include Milos, Sifnos, Paros, and Naxos.

Yacht in Folegandros

Show more>

 Folegandros is part of the Cyclades complex; a beautiful gem right in the center of the Southern Aegean. Folegandros is surrounded by Milos, Sikinos, Sifnos, and Santorini and occupies an area of 32 square km with almost 800 inhabitants. Often overlooked as a tourist spot, it is an ideal sailing destination in Greece, thanks to its pleasurable weather conditions and unspoiled natural setting. According to mythology, the island was inhabited by shepherds and was named “Polyandros” at the time, which translates to “many men.” In the following years Folegandros, the son of King Minos of Crete, gave his name to the island, but there is also evidence that the word “Phelekgundari” (meaning “rocky” in Phoenician) was where it was derived from. Indeed, an island with rocky outcrops nicknamed by Greeks as the land of Iron (Sidira), for its impressive barren landscape and serene atmosphere. 

 This island has charming squares, whitewashed houses, and bougainvilleas. Many tourists admit that Folegandros has one of the most enjoyable strolls in the Aegean. The medieval settlement of Kastro and the Church of Panagia are some sites you will come across in Chora. In fact, the people of Folegandros bless all the houses of the island every Easter with the icon of the Virgin Mary; a celebration that reflects the special raw charm of the island. Finally, if you have had your fair share of fun in the hinterland of Folegandros, you have the opportunity to enjoy a one-of-a-kind vacation through a yacht rental trip.

 A yacht charter in Folegandros usually starts from the main harbor of Karavostasis. From here you can visit the famous beach of Katergo, accessible only by boat and only 10 min away from the port. Some other notable beaches in Folegandros you can tour near Karavostasi include Agali, Pountaki, and Latinaki beach. With a luxury yacht, you will have complete privacy with your group and be able to visit beaches farther away, including Serfiotiko and Agios Georgios. Passing by Ano Meria village, on the northern side of the island, you can stop and catch the wonderful sunset at the lighthouse of Aspropounta. Finally, Agali beach is a great choice for a family-friendly vibe and to reward yourself in any of the eateries by the sea. For the most seasoned sailor, there are swimming and sailing races taking place in the bays of Karavostasi and Agali by the Maritime Society, every August. Renting a yacht with a skipper will allow you to explore the spectacular cave of Chrisospilia with ease; it’s rich in stalactite formations and a photogenic beauty that will take your breath away.
