Description of the attraction
The good sandy beach of Agali (the word translated from Greek means "bosom") is located in the picturesque bay of Vafi, next to the coastal village of the same name, at a distance of about 4 kilometers west of the main town of Folegandros island, Chora.
The beach in the center of the western coastline of the island is considered one of the best in the area. There are two or three restaurants 50-100 meters from the sea where you can drink coffee or other drinks and enjoy a very good meal prepared mainly from seafood or grilled meat dishes. Taverns are only open during the summer.
The beach consists of pleasant fine sand that goes into the sea. When there is no wind, the waters are calm, transparent and very clean. There are no sun loungers, awnings or natural shade, so it's best to bring your essentials with you. At the southern end of the beach there is a very small, almost private beach, the path to which lies in shallow water past the rock on the left. There is shade from the rocks, a small cave and ideal diving spots.
Sightseeing boats leave from a small pier on the right side of the beach to Agios Nikolaos, Halifos, Fira and Faroe.
In August, Agali hosts competitions for surfers, swimmers and championships in beach games.
It is very easy to get to Agali Beach - by any car from Hora, the walk will take about an hour.
