In a world that’s always looking for the next undiscovered hotspot, Folegandros is like the cool indie band that hasn’t hit the mainstream yet.
Forget the crowds of Santorini and Mykonos, this untouched gem offers a legit Greek experience. Smack dab in the middle of this raw paradise is Gundari, a luxe eco-resort that promises tranquillity and a serious connection with nature.
Gundari Resort, nestled on an 80-acre nature reserve, invites you to hit the brakes and enjoy the slow life. Unlike the bustling, blingy scenes of other Greek islands, Folegandros has a unique vibe with its pristine beaches and endless opportunities for exploration.
Folegandros is your ticket out of the ordinary and into an epic Grecian adventure.
Gundari nails the Cyclades essence with its slow pace, untouched landscapes, and eco-friendly ethos, creating the perfect retreat for those looking to unplug and connect with nature.
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.
From the clear aquamarine waters to sun-soaked beaches, Folegandros captivates with its raw beauty. Gundari’s cliffside perch offers endless views of the cobalt-blue Aegean Sea, providing a serene escape from the crowds.
For those who love to explore, Folegandros is a goldmine of charming villages and significant archaeological ruins, providing a more intimate experience compared to the usual tourist traps. A quick 40-minute boat ride to Santorini and a 30-minute helicopter hop to Mykonos, Folegandros is perfect for those craving space and peace.
Gundari invites you to dive into the magic of Folegandros with curated experiences. Cruise through hidden bays and stunning beaches on the Gundari luxury boat (Axopar XC 37), uncovering the island’s hidden gems.
