Koufonissi is a small island belonging to Greece, and a former community in the Cyclades. The island got its name of Koufonissi, which is literally translated as ‘Hollow Islands’, due to the many huge caves that are dotted around the shores, giving the impression to pirates that the islands were hollow. The island is popular for those that are looking for a relaxing holiday on the beach, basking in the sun and admiring the beautiful landscapes. There are no bars or clubs on Koufonissi; any noise heard in the evening will be from the conversations of diners enjoying the delicious food and ambience of the restaurants. There are no cars on the island, therefore all visitors are required to travel by foot. Fortunately it is small enough to walk across in just about a day, with the main beaches being in relatively close proximity to each other. For the more adventurous, there are boat excursions on offer throughout the day, allowing visitors the chance to swim around the azure waters of the Aegean Sea. The ferry routes from the port cross to several of the other Greek islands; they are typically very short with the majority lasting under an hour, and the longest taking around four hours.
Villages adorning whitewashed houses, tropical foliage decorating the rugged landscape and a plethora of charming restaurants serving sumptuous seafood – Sifnos is unashamedly Greek. The exponential growth of tourism over the past decade has hacked away at the authenticity of the architecture and culture, though the Mediterranean character remains forever embedded in Sifnos’ DNA. A selection of clubs and bars have attracted a constant stream of young people who flock to the island each summer to enjoy the cheap alcohol and lively music scene. The influx of youngsters has prompted the island to become a popular retreat for anyone hoping to dance until the early hours of the morning, but a family atmosphere still rings around the villages. Quaint cafes and welcoming restaurants appeal to people of all ages, and the golden sands next to deep blue waters resemble a paradise for every type of visitor. Vathi Beach is perhaps the standout among a myriad of beaches along the coast, enticing visitors with the inviting image of luxury yachts in the horizon that can be enjoyed under the natural shade provided by the collection of trees.
The cosy streets and compact nature of Sifnos means that many choose to traverse the island by foot.
