Aspropounta lighthouse walk

Two hours west from Folegandros Chora along the island's spine to a working lighthouse and one of the quietest views in the Aegean. Pick the path up west of Chora, past the Panagia church; it follows the ridge through low scrub with no shade. Go at 5 p.m. in summer, for the light and the drop in heat, and bring water (no tap) and a long sleeve for the walk down. The lighthouse is locked, but the cliff in front of it is the view: sit, eat the orange you brought, walk back in time for dinner.
