On your quest for good beaches in Koufonisia, you can go from Platia Pounda to Pori and continue to a small beach called Gala. Gala means milk in the Greek Language and the beach gets this distinctive name from the frothy waves that one can see in the interior of the caves.
Parianos beach is set on the south west coast of Koufonissia and it consists in a large sandy beach naturally protected from the winds as it is in fact the harbor where the small fishing boats are anchored. This place is ideal for families with young children and people who do not like transportations.
Loutro Beach is not really suitable for swimming. There is a caique repair yard in the bay and the beach is covered with uncomfortable big stones.
A small picturesque harbor and fishing boats moor only excursion boats that carry visitors to the beautiful beaches. Feature attraction is the church of Virgin Mary located on the jetty and is built on ancient ruins.

Only by foot or by boat: these are the only ways to reach the beach of Pezoulia. If you chose the second, you’d better prefer the left side (from your perspective) of the bay, not only to enjoy the beach but also to take the way that will lead you to Aloni; it’s a large plateau with a huge fig and a sealed well.
