Koufonissi Guide

Koufonissi Ferry Port

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.


Paros Guide

Paros Ferry Port

Lying in the Aegean Sea, Paros is a Greek island forming part of the Cyclades island group. There are many ferry routes departing the port, heading to other coastal towns belonging to Greece, and are supplied by four ferry companies.

What is there to do in Paros?

Primarily known as a ferry hub, Paros has remained under the radar among the hype of other popular Greek holiday destinations. Though its relative anonymity is quickly coming to an end; warm and welcoming rural villages surround the alluring capital city, offering visitors the chance to indulge in Greek cuisine in beautiful surroundings. The harbour still attracts the biggest crowds, especially in the spring time when the island is less busy, the weather is pleasant and the water become slightly warmer. The shoreline is constructed of unique rock formations and golden sands; Kolymbithres Beach is perhaps the most aesthetically interesting area across the coast, which provides unmatched views of the endless azure blue seas engulfing the smaller neighbouring islands. Away from the waters, myriad of historical and cultural sites are dotted about the island, providing a fascinating insight into the history of Paros. Panayia Ekatondapiliani Cathedral is typically at the top of the itinerary for most tourists, and for an extended look at the archaic architecture, head to Parikia Town which is host to many cultural landmarks.

How do visitors get around Paros?

Car and motorbike rental companies are fairly cheap throughout the year, though the prices increase in the summer months. In terms of public transport, a bus service operates frequently throughout the towns, and are generally quite affordable.
