Better yet, catch evening’s fiery glow from the comfort of Blue Sand Hotel & Suites*, hidden away on the west coast with Aegean horizons from every room. Take a memorable stroll along zigzag stairs to whitewashed Panagia church, then soak up sunset views from traffic-free, cliff-top Chora (the island’s main town) or get closer still on a sunset cruise. Many of its best beaches are accessible only by boat or on foot, which makes it feel laid-back and bohemian. FolegandrosĪnother isle in the shadow of its Cycladic sisters is Folegandros, which sits halfway between Santorini and Milos. Stay at Krinos Suites*, a boutique hotel that blends understated style with authentic and heartfelt Greek hospitality. Wild and lovely Achla - overlooked in its sheltered cove by a lighthouse and an Orthodox church - is the standout, but sandy Batsi is more accessible, with ample facilities. For a start, it’s greener and has lots of scenic hiking trails, but on a hot day it’s the beaches that take centre stage. But Andros, the second largest Cycladic island, has a different appeal to its glitzier neighbours. It’s easy to get overlooked in an archipelago shared with Santorini and Mykonos.
