Tips for the Piraeus–Folegandros Ferry

• On routes where two or more operators compete, compare prices and journey times – the price difference for vehicles can be particularly significant.
• If your sailing is cancelled, do not simply wait at the port indefinitely – go to the operator’s office, confirm the next available sailing, and plan your overnight if needed.
• In Folegandros, the distinctive hilltop Kastro village and the rugged, sun-bleached landscape give the island a wild character unlike most of the Cyclades. A scenic walk from Ano Meria leads to the lighthouse on the southeastern tip, standing watch over the Aegean since 1919.
