About Galifos
Galifos is a beach on Folegandros, facing south-west. Land shelters it from winds from the north, the north-east, the east, and the north-west, so those winds leave the water flat here. Winds from the south and the south-west arrive over open sea and raise waves when they are strong. The beach is reached on foot, by a path. Within 300 m there are 1 taverna or restaurant. The sea is warmest in August, at about 24 °C. It is above 22 °C from June to October.
Written from map data (OpenStreetMap contributors), our own measurement of the open sea around the beach and NOAA sea temperatures (1991-2020 averages).
