Beaches

The first beach you find right in Chora between the original settlement and the new part of the village. It's a nice sandy beach, mainly visited by the locals.

After a 40 minutes walk to the east you reach Charokópoy, an area with several nice sandy beaches. It's difficult to find any shadow, but you can visit the nearby tavern at the Finikas resort during the hottest hours. Many people visiting these beaches prefer to be naked.

Note: I haven't been visiting Koufoníssi since 1997, 
but I have been at the port and been talking to 
many people going there. Nowadays, the island 
is visited by much more tourists than a few year 
before, thus the possibility to be naked in this 
area has more or less dissapared!

The outstanding beach or lagoon on Koufoníssi is Akti Poriou to the east of the island (see map, and also two images in the photo section). The water is crystal clear and it's sometimes difficult to see the boarder between sea and sky; it sort of melt together. The beach has nice sand and is shelving. Unfortunately it's hard to find any shadow here. CO-beach.
