Koufonisia - A Grecian Paradise Imagine, you awaken to the music of waves lapping against the pebble beach. A cool salty breeze sweeps over you from the open doors from the veranda. Sound like paradise? Located in the Aegean Sea, southeast of Athens is Koufonisia, one of the islands known as the Cyclades. Surrounded by crystal clear water in hues from emerald to sapphire and amazing beaches varying from soft sand to white pebbles, Koufonisia is a sight to behold. After flying from Athens to one of the larger Cyclades islands, Naxos, you will be able to enjoy a few hours on a ferry soaking in the breathtaking views as you make your way to Koufonisia. White buildings with blue roofs nestled against the hillside in a picturesque setting. Once in port, transport will be waiting to take you to your hotel. When you arrive at your hotel, you will note it is not typical of most hotels. Each of the six hotels on the island is quaint and cozy, welcoming and relaxing, filled with the hospitality of local residents. Posidonion Hotel is the largest with 35 rooms able to accommodate from 2 to 6 people with a kitchen area in the larger rooms. If you would prefer something more secluded, the Villa Ostria in the Village of Agios Georgios (St. George) has 10 rooms with private showers, WC, telephone and refrigerator. All of the hotels have daily transports to and from the port and balconies or verandas overlooking the sea. With beaches stretching along the length of the island, don’t settle for what is right in front of you. Explore! You will find hidden treasures wherever you go. The rocky cliffs are home to many caves calling out to adventurers. Also along the cliffs, you will find pisines, which are openings in the rocks with a pool of clean, calm water perfect for a romantic swim. After a day of soaking up the sun and exploring, enjoy fresh fish or lobster at one of the local taverns. If you are still feeling daring, try an island favorite of delectable wild goat or mizithra (skimmed milk cheese). When scheduling your trip to Koufonisia, you may want to time it during one of the islands festivals.
