Practical

Position approx: the Grecosailor Katergo beach position, used as the swim-off point. folegandros.gr calls Katergo's water the cleanest and most crystal clear that can be visited; Grecosailor reports patches of weed and rock on the bottom. Snorkel early or late to avoid the day-trip caique from Karavostasis (about 10 minutes away). No shade, food or water ashore. Georgitsi Cave, on the coast towards the harbour, is a dinghy trip in calm water.
