Koufonisia is a small paradisical cluster of two islands, consisted of Pano Koufonisi, population 300, and Kato Koufonisi where there are only two houses for their hosts in the summer only. People are involved in fishing. Excavations in both islands releaved remains of the early stages of the Cycladic civilazation as well as the Hellinistic and Roman years. A path can lead you to the most beautiful beaches such as Harokopou (Phoinikas), Platia Pounta, which is the most popular, Phanos and Pori, both less crowded but equally beautiful. There are fishing boats as well as hotels, taverns with traditional music, mini market, bars, e.t.c. The Koufonisia isles are considered the up and coming vacation destinations in the Cyclades Islands, as many have discovered that although they offer a reasonable amount of isolation, they also provide all the comforts of the most frequented islands.

The island shares the same background as the surrounding islands.We don't know when it was first inhabited, and what happened on the island in antiquity. It was conquered like the rest of the islands by the Romans in the 2nd century BC, and fell into Venetian hands in the 13th century. The Turks invaded in the 16th century, and the island was liberated in 1821.
