A succinct summary from Anna Work, Dane-born sociologist who owns the excellent Ampelos Hotel on the outskirts of Hora, along with husband Fotis and son Thodoris: "It is impossible for Folegandros to remain static. Change will come. Outsiders take something away from here but they also serve as links to outer world. Both parties benefit from the interaction. But too many tourists here could be a danger to the lifestyle."
