The Small Cyclades: Ferries to Koufonisia route map
Koufonisia is a tiny, beautiful destination famous for crystal clear water. The largest ferry operators in the region include Seajets, Blue Star Ferries, and Small Cyclades Lines. The island is actually two islands, but tourists stay on Ano Koufonissi. It is very small, so you do not need a car.
| Starting Port | Travel Time | Vessel Type |
|---|---|---|
| Athens (Piraeus) | 5 to 8 hours | Fast catamarans are quicker but bumpy. Blue Star is slower but very smooth. |
| Naxos | 40 mins to 2.5 hours | This is the best way to arrive. Fly or take a big boat to Naxos, then hop over. |
| Amorgos | 30 mins to 1 hour | Very easy day trip or next stop on your island hopping plan. |
Do not pay to bring a rental car to Koufonisia. The island is so small that you can walk from the port to the furthest beach in about 40 minutes. There are also small taxi boats that shuttle people from the port to the beaches all day long.
“If you have time, book a trip on the legendary ‘Express Skopelitis’.
