Koufonisia is the name given to two islands in the Lesser Cyclades - Ano Koufonisi, which is inhabited, and Kato Koufonisi, which is uninhabited and known for its untouched coastline. With some of the clearest waters in Greece, they are a popular destination for day trips from Naxos and Paros. Excursions range from simple transfers for independent exploration to organized trips visiting both islands, with opportunities to swim in natural sea pools, relax on golden beaches, and explore hidden coves.
Some itineraries include guided walks through Ano Koufonisi’s whitewashed lanes, snorkeling in sheltered bays, and visits to the remote beaches of Kato Koufonisi. Others may add stops at nearby uninhabited islets, offering the chance to see more of the Lesser Cyclades in one outing. Whether you choose a simple transfer, a small group cruise, or a private charter, Koufonisia excursions showcase the area’s turquoise waters, unspoiled scenery, and relaxed island life.
