The beautiful location of this church makes it well worth the effort of reaching it.

I must admit that, looking up at the church from Chora, I was a bit anxious that the twisting pathway would be too steep for me, but this was not the case. I found the use of a walking pole to be helpful, but the...More

Beautiful

Beautiful view. I couldn't tell you about the interior of the church. Come at sunset, bring water, a camera and make sure you are in shape. It's long walk up but worth the view and the sunset.

Beautiful sunset, lovely church

The walk up looks very daunting, however, it was not that bad and my oh my was it worth it. The small church was really ornate. The view from the top was superb, with landscapes at every angle showing a huge amount of the island....More

truly a moment

this church has history views and a spiritual feeling that is difficult to describe. The snaking path up to the church is a bit of an effort but worth it. Inside (its open from 6pm to 8pm) is a truly beautiful and spiritual place that...More

Worth a visit

THE best place to watch the sunset (as you can see from the flocks of people climbing up there every night). It's not that far and the road is nice so it's easy enough trip to make. If you have a drone, please do NOT...More

The view...

Lovely walk... steep it quick and the view is amazing. We went in the morning but looked into the church through the window which looked gorgeous and ornate. You must do this in Folegandros

Nice sunset :)

Beautiful sunset and a magnificent view over the whole island and especially the Chora cliffs :) The Church is suprisingly spacious considering the size of the village.
