Katergo beach
10 Zarek Al-Asmar

This stunning beach in Folegandros has been nominated as one of the most beautiful in the area. While the parking may be a bit of a trek, with half of it being steep and rocky, it's definitely worth the effort. However, parents should keep an eye on their children as the terrain can be a bit dangerous. Once you arrive at the beach, you'll be greeted with crystal clear waters that are perfect for swimming. The waves are gentle and not too rough, and the water is warm without being too deep. If you're only able to visit one beach during your time in Folegandros, this should be the one you choose.

Amazing place! Nice Marina :)"

Livadi beach
6 Nathan Everhart

This delightful beach is situated near the port and can be reached effortlessly by car, bike, or on foot. Though it is located a little off the beaten path, as there is a road just behind it where cars heading to the camping site pass by, it is still a top choice for witnessing the sunrise.

Livadaki beach
10 Mateo Rodriguez

Wow, what a stunningly picturesque beach! It's so breathtaking that it's almost criminal. And the best part? You can hop on a boat from Agali every hour, making it a breeze to get there. But be warned, there's not a lot of shade to be found, so you'll need to bring some serious umbrella stabilizing skills. The wind is no joke around here. Personally, I didn't stick around for more than a couple hours before hopping on a boat to Agios Nicolaos. Gotta keep it cool, you know?
