Angali beach, Folegandros - south
To reach Angali from Hotel Ampelos, you get the bus to Angali just few minutes from the hotel. On the bus you can enjoy the view of the sea on both sides of Folegandros. You can drive to Angali or you can walk down the road that leads to the beach of Angali. Angali is the best sandy beach on the island and the least windy beach. It is also very nice there in the late afternoon because Angali is bathed in sunlight to late.
