Folégandros
|
|
The long straggling island of Folégandros, between Melos and Santorin, is still barely touched by the tourist trade. The cliff-fringed eastern part of the island, with its highest hill (411m/1348ft), is bare and arid; the western half is milder, with water from springs, and supports a modest terraced agriculture.
With its poverty and lack of sheltered harbors, Folégandros was never a place of any importance. Its destinies were closely bound up with those of Náxos. In Roman times it was a place of exile.
