Koufonisia (part of the small Cyclades and 3 in total: the upper, the lower Koufonisi and Keros) are small islands with majestic sandy beaches and lots of caves. From these three islands, only the upper Koufonisi is inhabited, and a festival honoring Holy Mary occurs in the lower Koufonisi each August. 

Despite their small size, Koufonisia have made their mark on the cultural map of Greece, with the well-known pair of statues depicting two musicians, the Piper and the Harpist -  symbols of the Cycladic Civilization, found on the unpopulated island of Keros.

Try the local cuisine that is rich in seafood, and visit the sea-caves on the Upper Koufonisi.
