Photo and description

In the northwestern part of the Greek island of Folegandros, about five kilometers from the administrative center of Chora (or Folegandros), there is a small picturesque town of Ano Merja. It is the third largest settlement on the island after Chora and the port of Karavostasi and one of the most picturesque places in Folegandros, which is definitely worth a visit.

Ano Merja is a traditional Cycladic settlement with pretty white houses with blue doors and shutters, old windmills, narrow winding streets and cozy taverns, where you can relax while enjoying the excellent local cuisine and hospitality of the local people. Unlike Hora and Karavastosi, Ano Merie is never too crowded and this is a great opportunity to completely immerse yourself in the magical atmosphere of a small island town, whose residents jealously cherish their traditions and live in their own special rhythm. When visiting one of Ano Merii's taverns, do not forget to taste the famous matsata - homemade noodles, which are usually served with stews (rabbit or poultry). However, local pastries cooked in the oven on brushwood, goat cheese and excellent honey, for which this Greek island is so famous, also deserve special attention.

The main attraction of Ano Merya is a relatively small, opened back in 1988, but a very entertaining Ethnographic Museum. It is housed in a typical 19th century farmhouse which includes a residential building, various outbuildings,
