Folegandros Bus Timetable

If you are visiting Folegandros without a car, the local bus is one of the easiest and most practical ways to get around the island.

Folegandros is a small island, but the bus still saves time, adds convenience, and helps you move between the main villages and the beach areas more comfortably.

The bus service is operated for people travelling around the island and is especially handy in the summer season when more visitors arrive and the roads can feel busier.
