Pori Beach is the best beach on the island due to it's peaceful and unspoiled atmosphere. It's horseshoe shape creates protection from wind. With fine white sand and clear turquoise waters, Pori is ideal for swimming, snorkeling and windsurfing in a pristine natural setting.

Koufonisi is a hidden gem within the Cycladic islands. Here, life is slower paced and more authentic. The raw landscape of the island blends harmoniously with the beautiful Aegean Sea.
