Travel Guide - Koufonisia

Koufonisia is a cluster of two islands, Kato (Lower) and Pano (Upper) Koufonisi that belongs to the complex of Small East Cyclades. Geographically, it is located on the southeast side of Naxos and on the west side of Amorgos.

KATO (LOWER) KOUFONISI
It is located next to Pano Koufonisi, Shoinousa and Keros. It has an extent of 4, 3 sq.km. and it's almost uninhabited, as there are only a few rural houses on it. The most characteristic sight of the island is the small church of Panagia that is built on the jetty, on top of ancient ruins. In its small, graphic port anchor only fish and tourist boats that take the tourists to the magic beaches of the island.

PANO KOUFONISI OR 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 main occupation of the locals is fishing, so Koufonisi is a true fish village where the visitors can eat fish and seafood in abundance. Comparably to its population, it has one of the biggest fishing fleets in Greece.

There's regular boat service linking Koufonisia to Piraeus and Rafina and daily service to nearby islands-Ios, Santorini, Amorgos, Naxos, Paros, Mykonos, and Syros.
