During my first visit to Folegandros, I was blessed to have Anemi Hotel host us & what a beautiful stay it was! Much like the rest of the island, the ambiance of this boutique hotel is calm, quiet, and laid back. Folegandros is unspoiled in that it hasn’t been overrun by tourists or commercialized over-development like some of the other Cycladic Islands (ie Santorini). To maintain the natural beauty of the village of Karavostasis, Anemi hotel is limited to two stories throughout the property to stylishly blend into its surroundings. Anemi is a member of Design Hotels which has 250 hotels all over the world; they’re known for their service, care, and gorgeous aesthetic quality. Traditional architecture meets modern Greek lines at Anemi hotel with its whitewashed Cycladic style walls and rounded corners that we all think of when we imagine the Greek islands. I really loved the way the designers married traditional and contemporary; we enjoyed our breakfast every morning by Anemi’s infinity pool and if you have even an ounce of photography interest in you – you’ll be obsessed with the lines all over the property! Even our room was perfect, I can’t even imagine the bigger suites! Our room was pristine all white. It was so hard to not be in an incredible mood all the time when everything is sparkling and bright.
Anemi is truly self-sufficient if you’re looking to just check-out and relax at the hotel throughout your stay. Their restaurant is known as one of the best on the Island and there is more than enough for children and families to do together: open air cinema for a movie night, tennis courts, playground, yoga, fitness centre, pilates, etc. If you do plan to explore the island a bit and rent a car like we did, there is free on-site parking as well! Anemi is just a minute from the port and the staff was extremely helpful with pickup/dropoff. I was being over-responsible about getting to the port on time on our last day but they assured me that they’d take us when the ferry was near as they kept an eye on its ETA for us!
The staff and service were absolutely fantastic, the hotel manager regularly stopped to chat with us and make sure we were doing well. Any time we needed anything, the front desk was just a phone call away.
Thank you Anemi Hotel for the unbelievably lovely stay & to SeaJets for getting us there! Enjoy the photos (such eye candy!!!), all my outfit details are at the bottom!

YOUR hat!!! Where??
Wow. very nice pic. I love it.
Do you prefer Folegandros or Santorini? Trying to plan my trip I love your pics!
I have to say you pack the best holiday wardrobe! I love all of your outfits and pictures so much. Question for you though? Do think its a better idea to fly to folegandros or take the boat?
Thanks Sanjana!! Folegandros doesn’t have an airport, the nearest is in Santorini which is about a 45 minute ferry ride from Folegandros! We took a highspeed ferry to the island from Athens which took about 5 hours if my memory is correct; for the way back we took a ferry to Santorini, spent a couple days and then flew back to Athens. If i had planned this trip myself I would have flown to Santorini then taken the short ferry to Folegandros! Door to door it’d probably be the same amount of time (also depending on flight/ferry schedules) but I get sick on boats blegh!
Loved the entire post!! So well written and magnificent photography as well 🙂
How gorgeous!!!!! I loved your snaps while you were in Folegandros, it looks so charming and different. My fiance and I are adding it on to our Santorini trip next year for sure. Thank you!
Such a lovely photos. Nice post.
