Ano Meria
Άνω Μεριά
A farming village strung along a ridge for several kilometres, with stone-walled terraces, threshing floors and traditional tavernas, famous for its local thin, flaky pies.
Ano Meria is the island's second-largest village, with farmhouses spread along the main road for about 4 kilometres. Stone-walled terraces, windmill ruins and threshing floors reveal the island's farming life, and the village is the starting point for hikes to the western and northern beaches. The family tavernas here are known for matzata, the Folegandros speciality of handmade pasta served with chicken or lamb, along with thin, flaky savoury pies. The bus from Chora takes about 15 minutes. Timetables match the beach season, and in peak season evening buses can be crowded.
