Just 200-300 meters separate the headlamps from the shores of the Italian or otherwise Platia Punta. The trail moves along the coast and goes side by 2-3 small individual 'pools' with pebbles or sand, fringed by rocks, which they prefer mainly nudist.
Pisina beach is exactly what its name implies: a pool (the Greek word for 'pool" is "pisina"). Located on the eastern side of the island, it boasts an amazingly beautiful and naturally carved shape of a round pool.
Large golden sands north of the island. Previously, as was the farthest from the harbor, was an earthly paradise.
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.
Beautiful sandy beach with crystal clear waters. Located about ten minutes from the beach of Panagia moor the boat from the top Koufonissi.
