Koufonisia can be represented with series of dots forming an “A”. Lying southeast of Naxos,
three small islands make up Koufonisia. They have some great beaches and secluded coves. These islands are Pano Koufonissi, Kato Koufonissi, and Keros.
Pano Koufonissi is the smallest yet the most densely populated island in the Cyclades group. It has a surface area of 5,7 sq. Km and 366 local inhabitants. It is a fisherman’s island as everyone is involved in the fishing sector. Kato Koufonissi, the second island, has a surface area of about 4.5 sq Km. It is almost uninhabited today. Keros is the third one of the group.
An uninhabited island, Keros has been declared a protected archaeological site after important artifacts of Cycladic Art were discovered on it. Some small, uninhabited islands around main Koufonisia are Glaronissi, Loubardari, Tsouloufi, Drima, Lazaros, Plakes, and Voulgaris.
