You will be met at the port by a friendly face (Gina’s husband-George!) and taken straight to the accommodation. The house is immaculately clean and very stylish. It has a beautiful view/patio space- all in all just how it is pictured online- as it is very well represented!
My son came down with a little virus when we were there, and George was so kind to bring him chocolate pastries from the town’s famous bakery to “perk him up”.
Once, we ran into him in town, and he offered to come back when we were finished our ice creams to take us home.
The island is very walkable- the main town being a 20 minute walk. But you don’t have to go far to reach a great taverna- just down the hill is Finikas Beach and it’s very chill, affordable, and great food option taverna. The beach is beautiful. Koufonisia’s waters are hard to match anywhere.
There is also a very good restaurant for meats- Mixalios Grill House- that you can reach in 10 minutes via a goat path from the house. This is a fun adventure at sunset, mind you have a flashlight for your return :). The beaches of Koufonisia cannot be beat- many coves to explore as you make it from Finikas to Pori. We like to jump some of the cliffs.
The flat walk is amazing, but there are many boats you can hop on if you prefer not to walk.
We have visited so many Greek Islands, and this one our favorite. Very grateful to George and Gina for their warm hospitality, and beautiful accommodation. We found the location perfect to suit our needs- between the main town and the end destination- Pori. We shall return!
