PLAATSEN

Koufonisia is a cluster of two islands, Kato (Lower) and Pano (Upper) Koufonisi that belongs to the complex of Small East Cyclades.

Pano Koufonisi

Pano Koufonisi is the smallest and most densely populated island in Cyclades islands. It has an extent of 3,5sq.km and its population amounts to 366 residents.

The white windmill on the east side of the port welcomes the visitors when they arrive on the island. Chora that is built in the southwest coast of Koufonisi is a characteristic example of Cycladic architecture. Its heavenly beaches- the majority of them are sandy- are part of the magic picture of the island. Koufonisi has been developed the last ten years, as far as tourism is concerned, so the natural beauty and its traditional colour has remained fadeless. All these, along with the warm hospitality of the residents and the reasonable prices of the hotels, the rooms for rent and the food, make the island the perfect destination for the summer and -why not- winter holidays.

Kato Koufonisi

It is located next to Pano Koufonisi, Shoinousa and Keros. It has an extent of 4sq.km. and it's almost uninhabited, as there are only a few rural houses on it.

In its small, graphic port anchor only fish and tourist boats that take the tourists to the magic beaches of the island.
