Lygaria beach in Folegandros

Lygaria is a short pebbly beach in a small bay just before Agios Georgios beach on the northern part of Folegandros. The beach is nothing to write home about, but the water is clear and snorkel friendly.

A pirate ship ran aground in the bay during a storm for many years ago. The ship was discovered by a watchful islander who alerted the rest of the residents. Before the pirates had time to recover the islanders attacked the ship and the pirates were forced to leave the island.

On the Kasteloss peninsula between Lygaria and Agios Georgios beach there are ruined stone walls from antiquity. No one knows if a village ones was set here, or if Kasteloss was an anchorage for boats.

The barren, and very beautiful, landscape of northern Folegandros.
