Embark on an unforgettable full-day speed boat adventure to authentic, off the beaten path island of Folegandros, a hidden gem in the Western Cyclades.

We will depart from Santorini port on a 10m speed boat and head towards Folegandros, with our first stop at Georgitsi’s cave where an experienced instructor will take us on a short snorkeling tour, unveiling the vibrant underwater world. Next, we will make our way to the shores of Katergo beach for a refreshing swim in its crystal-clear waters.

Afterwards, you will be transferred by minivan to the main town or Chora, the charming capital of Folegandros, where you can enjoy a break for coffee and snacks. Once you get the first taste of the capital, we will head uphill to visit the church of Panagia, one of the most important sites of the island, with religious and cultural interest, which offers panoramic views of the island’s imposing cliffs and picturesque surroundings. As the day unfolds, you will return to visit Kastro, the remains of an ancient Venetian fortress, and learn more about the island’s traditional way of life, history, and culture at the Folklore Museum.

Lastly, you will continue to explore the traditional village of Ano Meria, where you will meet the local community and enjoy Folegandros’ flavors at a traditional grocery, as our local lady will cook for you, before returning back to the port to embark on the speed boat to Santorini.

This cruise is private for small groups of 1-9 persons (maximum) and is offered in English language.
