Situated on the hill, church of Panagia offers the opportunity to pray in silence. This place you can admire a magnificent sunset
It's a must in Chora (Folegandros) at sunrise or at sunset (when it's crowdier) to get incredible views on the village and the island. The church itself is not what really matters, the 15 minutes walk up the sinuous path has it all...
It is the number one destination !!! The best view on the island, with stunning color at sunset! You must have water with you and a little patience, because the road is steep! Necessary, the camera and a tripod !!!
For orthodox travelers this visit is also a pilgrimage to Virgin Mary. Therefore, it means a lot. At the same time, the route allows someone to have a panoramic view of the chora of Folegandros and enjoy the sunset.
All along the ascend to the church of Panagia, you are taken aback by the beautiful scenery. Don't miss the chance to enjoy the sunset from up there, it's really worth it!
Located above the village, overlooking the cliff. After a short climb up a paved, zigzagged catwalk, we arrived at this beautiful, small, ancient church, with an awesome view of the village and the whole isle of Folegandros.

είναι από τα μέρη που δεν πρέπει να χάσετε, αν βρεθείτε στη Φολέγανδρο. έχει αρκετό περπάτημα μέχρι την κορυφή, αλλά η θέα, τόσο στη διαδρομή, όσο και ψηλά από το εκκλησάκι, σίγουρα θα σας αποζημιώσει. υπέροχο το ηλιοβασίλεμα από ψηλά.
Also listed in some guidebooks as Kimisis Theotokou, the church stands above the Hora at the end of a path which snakes up from the square at the entrance to the Hora overlooking the precipitous drop to the sea. The path is broad, paved and edged with white paint, so you can't miss it - and, at sunset, just follow the crowds.Yes, it is a popular spot and yes, it is a stiffer climb than perhaps it looks, but the views are great, as is - despite the cliché - the sunset.
a beautiful aegean church located atop of the main Folegandros' hill, offering great views over the main settlement of the island which in turn is built on a cliff standing before an extremely steep slope. Observe the remnants of an ancient temple that can be found around the yard of the church.
obviously a wonderful spot from which to watch the sunset and the pink/orange glow on the town of Chora that sits high on the cliff side above the water. But I was also and surprisingly impressed by the interior of the chapel itself - the paintings, the ornate statuary to soft light - really captivating!
