Sure, Folegandros isn’t as hyped as other Greek spots, but it’s super accessible with regular daily ferries from Athens, Santorini (just a quick 50-minute fast ferry), Milos, and more.
If you’re feeling fancy, the resort can hook you up with private helicopter transfers from Athens and nearby Aegean islands or even send a luxury boat to fetch you from Santorini, Milos, Paros, Sifnos and other ports. Gundari is just 3 kilometres from Chora, 5 kilometres from the port, and 2 kilometres from the heliport.
Gundari isn’t just about luxury, it’s about preserving the environment. The resort, soundtracked by the gentle whispers of the Aegean Sea, blends seamlessly into the rugged landscape. Suites with private pools and terraces let you chill with nature while enjoying modern comforts.
Located on Folegandros’ southeast coast near the charming village of Petousis, Gundari offers luxurious seclusion but is still close to Chora, the island’s picturesque capital.
