Hidden Beaches of Koufonisia Map & Guide

Far from the crowded hotspots of the Cyclades, the hidden beaches of Koufonisia offer a slower rhythm, tiny coves with crystal waters, sun-warmed rocks and soft pockets of sand where time seems to pause. This guide is my personal map to those places that make you whisper “let’s keep this one secret”, whether you’re here for a quick swim between boat rides or a full day of bliss under the Aegean light.

If you love discovering authentic corners across the islands, don’t miss my Amorgos guides: discover Amorgos, explore the best Amorgos beaches, and see the top Amorgos sights. They pair beautifully with Koufonisia if you’re building a Cyclades itinerary.

Below you’ll find a curated grid of small, photogenic spots, from pebble pockets with easy access to rocky jump-in places made for bold swims.

For the best experience, arrive early, bring water and reef-friendly sunscreen, and remember: the charm of these places lies in their simplicity. Pack light, leave only footprints, and let the sea do the storytelling.
