5Koufonisia

For those seeking a smaller, less-crowded island, Koufonisia is paradise. Part of the Lesser Cyclades, this tiny island boasts some of the clearest waters in all of Greece.

Beaches like Pori and Fanos are natural pools of aquamarine, where you can walk directly into calm, crystalline seas. Koufonisia is proof that sometimes the most beautiful waters are found not in famous resorts, but in quiet, hidden corners of Greece.
