Folegandros City Car Hire

Rent a car on Folegandros and explore this remote Cycladic island in a unique way. Folegandros is one of the Cyclades' smallest inhabited islands with dramatic cliffs and a car-free chora high up on the mountain. With a rental car, you can reach the island's beaches and villages such as Ano Meria, about 8 km from Chora, without waiting for the few local buses.

Folegandros center, Chora, sits on a cliff 200 meters above sea level with fantastic views over the Aegean Sea. The island is about 13 km long and known for its authentic character without mass tourism. Drive 8 km to Ano Meria for traditional tavernas and hiking trails along the coast.

Agkali Beach is reached via a 3 km gravel road to the south – a car is necessary. Book a car early during summer as availability on the island is very limited. Where do I pick up the rental car on Folegandros?

Pickup usually takes place in Chora center or at the Karavostasis port, about 4 km from Chora. Do I really need a car on Folegandros? The island is small but bus connections are limited, so a car makes it much easier to reach beaches and Ano Meria.
