Koufonisi⛵

A journey through images of incomparable beauty

An island exotic and at the same time enigmatic, with its own touch to the past of history, which takes you to other times, more beautiful

The exotic Koufonisi is located in the Libyan Sea, south of the prefecture of Lassithi, at a distance of 10 nautical miles southeast of Makry Gialos (Makris Gialos is located 38 km from Sitia and 25 km east from Ierapetra).

The island is not inhabited today, but is full of ruins of human activity, starting from the Early Minoan years and reaching to the post-Byzantine years. The locals like to call Koufonisi, as the Delos of Crete, due to the important antiquities that have been found.

Arriving in Koufonissi, if you want to walk, the maximum distance does not exceed one hour walk, while it would be good to wear simple sneakers, a hat and have sunscreen. The island is surrounded by 36 fantastic beaches, with fine white and golden sand and crystal clear blue-green waters.
