KOUFONISIA BEACHES

The beaches of the island are exotic with magnificent beauty. The sea caves behind Pori lying east of the island and west of Parianos create bays with golden beaches and turquoise waters.

Moving east along the island, beaches are prettier and vegetation relatively denser. You can follow the path that lies on the south coast; to select which beach you want to visit.

Harakopou and Platia Pounta are the most popular beaches, while Fanos is the most tranquil and Pori is the most remote—and for some, also the island’s best beach. Pori is about 4 kilometers from Hora but worth the trek. The coastal road is longer than it looks on the map, and the route through the interior is prettier.
