2Paros to Koufonisia – A Secluded Cycladic Paradise
Koufonisia, a tiny group of islands southeast of Naxos, offers a more off-the-beaten-path boat trip. This destination is ideal for those who love swimming in turquoise waters without the crowds of the more popular islands.
A typical boat trip from Paros to Koufonisia takes about 1.5 hours, often stopping at small coves along the way for swimming and snorkeling. The main island, Pano Koufonisi, is famous for its clear, shallow waters and soft sandy beaches like Pori Beach and Fanos Beach.
The pace on Koufonisia is delightfully slow, with few cars and plenty of small tavernas serving fresh seafood. It’s a place to anchor your boat, jump into the sea, and relax while enjoying the untouched Cycladic scenery. For swimmers and nature lovers, this trip is a hidden treasure.
