www.koufonisia.gr CHAT ROOM “Koufonissia” Fresh fish is in itself a good reason to go to Koufonissia. It's so beautiful, you can find your own beach with crystal clear waters, and all you can think about is food… I'm thinking of everything! The crowds, and the noise and the fuss…so I vote for Koufonissia. We should also visit Keros, it's right next to Koufonissia. Look! At night Keros looks like a woman lying on the sea!!! Get recommendations The spirits in Koufonissia are always up. You will feel this in every greeting, in every feast, in every moment. It is beautiful, from the view, to the sea, to the underwater images. At lunch time, you'll discover even more good reasons that make Koufonissia a unique destination. How to get there Koufonissia is connected all year round by local itineraries with Naxos, Amorgos and the other islands of the small Cyclades, and by ferries with Piraeus. Fast boat connections are added in the summer months. 100
K O U F O N I S S I A The cluster of Koufonissia includes the islands of Pano and Kato Koufonissi which belong to the Small Eastern Cyclades. They are separated by a 200m-wide channel. The hectic and noisy outside world cannot reach this small spot in the Aegean that has become a favourite destination for Greek and foreign visitors, offering them an ideal chance to enjoy beaches with golden sand and clear blue waters, small natural pools, sea caves, authentic island festivals and, of course, an abundance of fish and seafood. One interpretation is that the name of Koufonissia originates from the Greek words koufos limin which means hollow port, due to the presence of a bay between the two islands and Glaronissi. A second interpretation is that the characterization of hollow originates from the numerous caves seen at the beaches, as the waves weather and make the islands hollow. Pano Koufonissi (or just Koufonissi) which covers an area of just 3.5km2 and has approximately 300 permanent residents, is the smallest, but also the most densely populated island of the Cyclades. Kato Koufonissi covers an area of 4.3km2 and is practically uninhabited. Koufonissia have been inhabited since the prehistoric period, and was a centre of the Early Cycladic civilisation, as evidenced by the archaeological finds in Epano Mili, the most important being a frying panshaped vessel with an engraved nine-point star, currently exhibited at the Museum of Naxos. In Pano Koufonissi, next to the port, is the only settlement of the island, Chora. It is a typical fishing village featuring charming alleys, white- 101
