Without A Compass: Folegandros

SYNOPSIS

This time they are in beautiful Folegandros. Folegandros, the fiery! You only need passion and imagination; everything else you can find it here in order to have a good time, according to Giannis and Aris. In rocky Folegandros we discover an authentic and unpretentious world. They show us around the Castle of Folegandros, one of the most beautiful and picturesque castles in Cyclades, they wander in the picturesque alleys in Chora, which seems like a movie set and they swim in crystal clear waters with some mishaps! They try matsata (local traditional dish) made by Mrs. Eirini, they learn where the island got its name from and they have an interesting conversation with the Mayor and the doctor of the island. They become carpenters... learn the art even if you dont end up using it, as Greeks say... and also beekeepers for a while, teaching us about the beautiful world of bees. They listen to stories about pirates, visit the cultural museum, climb to the monastery of Panagia of Folegandros and enjoy a wonderful sunset.
