How to get by car to Agios Georgios beach?

Where is Agios Georgios?

Tucked away on the northwestern edge of the island of Folegandros, the area around it is not inhabited and the beach is rather secluded. The beach is very windy, so it is always wise to check the weather report on the day prior to visiting.

Is the road to Agios Georgios unpaved?

The rough dirt road to the beach is very challenging. It’s unpaved and winds down toward the sea, with a few dangerous drop-offs (you might want to take this into consideration if you have passengers who don't like heights). The road is pretty narrow and not for the faint of heart.

How long is the road to Agios Georgios?

The road is 5.3 km (3.29 miles) long, starting from the lovely village of Ano Meria, the second largest settlement in Folegandros. There is a section near its end that is especially uneven and drops by about 20%.
