Kanaki - all beaches

The beach is truly breathtaking and the sand is unlike any other you'll come across. Although the path leading to the beach may be a bit elusive, the end result is well worth the effort.

When you step foot on the island, the beach you encounter perfectly embodies the essence of the entire place - exotic and alluring. I would give every single beach in Ano Koufonisia a five-star rating because each one surpasses the next in beauty and charm.

We decided to visit the beach during the off-season, as it was one of the destinations we didn't want to miss out on. Despite the long drive of 1.5 hours from Chora, the scenic beauty was worth it. The beach can be accessed by a small rocky dirt road, and once you park your vehicle, a short walk down takes you to the shore. We spent some time clicking pictures and feeling the chilly water before leaving. The beach was extremely quiet during the off-season, and we were the only ones there. Nevertheless, it is a must-visit spot if you have the time.

In my opinion, Italida stands out as the most exceptional beach in Koufunissi. It is conveniently accessible by foot or water taxi, which costs a reasonable 5€ for the whole day and departs from the port. The beach boasts a slightly larger size than Finikas and Fanos, offering ample space to relax and soak up the sun.

The beaches at Koufonisia were truly breathtaking, exceeding all expectations. The photos simply do not do them justice. Having visited numerous stunning islands and beaches, I can confidently say that nothing compares to the sheer beauty of Koufonisia's beaches.

This beach is fantastic and easily accessible either by a 5 euro boat ride from the port or a 15-minute walk. Additionally, there's a beach bar with great music and food. It's a family-friendly spot with ice cream and convenient beach access for the little ones.
