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.

Athens (Rafina) Ferry Port

Rafina is located on the Aegean sea coast about 30 km east of the centre of Athens in Attica, Greece. Though further away from Athens than neighbouring Piraeus, Rafina port is actually closer to the airport which makes it popular with international travellers passing through on their way to the Greek Islands. Rafina is the 2nd largest port in this region after Piraeus (Lavrio being the 3rd) and serves ferries to the southern part of Euboea as well as providing connections to most of the islands in the Cyclades group. With a huge number of ferry crossings in operation, services are offered by the largest of the Greek ferry companies.
