Spend 2 days on Koufonisia with me 🇬🇷✨ Also known as the Maldives of Greece… and honestly, the water really is that blue. Koufonisia consists of two islands: 🏝️ Ano (Pano) Koufonissi, where fewer than 400 people live. 🏝️ Kato Koufonissi, which is completely uninhabited. One of the best things about Koufonisia? You don’t need a car. You can walk almost everywhere or use the Koufonisia water taxi, which takes you to the island’s most beautiful beaches and to Kato Koufonissi. For just €10 (2026) you can hop on and off all day. That’s also why Koufonisia is one of my favorite day trips from Naxos, although I personally recommend staying at least 2 nights if you can. That way you get to enjoy the island once all the day trippers have left. A few things to know before visiting: 🏖️ There are no sunbeds directly on the beaches. Some beach bars have sunbeds on their own property behind the beach, but in summer it’s smart to reserve one or bring your own umbrella. 🚶 The island is tiny, relaxed and perfect if your ideal holiday is simply: swim, eat, have a coffee, swim again and watch the sunset. I also noticed Koufonisia has changed quite a bit over the years. The little village now has many more boutiques, cafés and restaurants than when I first visited, while still keeping its laid-back atmosphere. If you can choose your travel dates, I’d definitely go in the first half of June. Less crowded, beautiful weather and still that peaceful island feeling. In July and August it gets really crowded just because it is so tiny and getting more and more popular! #koufonisia #koufonisi #naxosdaytrip #koufonisiguide complete Koufonisia guide, Koufonisia itinerary, best beaches in Koufonisia or wondering whether to do a day trip from Naxos to Koufonisia?#CapCut — TikTok @tzatchickie
