Chora Folegandros
Dounavi Square

The largest square in Chora borders the Kastro, the medieval part of the village. In the centre of the square, a low wall demarcates an area where you will see several underground cisterns. Very common on Folegandros, these cisterns for collecting rainwater are a reminder that the island has no rivers or springs. Remember this before you book a hotel with a swimming pool!
