KOUFONISIA |
The older sailors may have remembered them as isolated and "unsuspected" compared to the other islands of the secular Cyclades. Today the Koufonissia of the barren line may not be as unknown as they were then, however they retain this simple and spare beauty and introduce themselves to visitors in their own way. A piece of paradise on earth is well "hidden" in Koufonissia. The anxious rhythms and noise of the outside world do not reach this small corner of the Aegean...
According to one version, the name is due to the calm harbor formed by the bay between the two islands and Glaronissos (koufos limin: windless harbor).
The town of Koufonissi is a Cycladic fishing village, with picturesque streets, freshly whitewashed houses and the characteristic white windmill on the left of the waterfront, a trademark of Cycladic architecture, while in the center of the settlement dominates the Temple of the island's patron saint, Agios Georgios. This year's route of the 29th Cyclades Regatta will also pass through Koufonissia, the "Mykonos of the Small Eastern Cyclades" as many now call them.
