Sifnos to Koufonisia Boat Tour - Private Boat Cruise Trips

Here, you will find all the details you need to privately go on a RIB rental tour-cruise to Koufonisia, and enjoy a full day boat  trip  to the incredible Small Cyclades islands.

Renting a boat in Sifnos: As we cruise out of the bay of Platis Gialos we head east, after about 40 NM we arrive at the small port of Agios Georgios in Irakleia. This is a chance to visit the most western island of the so-called “Small Cyclades” with a land area of 18 square kilometers and no more than 141 inhabitants! We swim at Irakleia’s beach Livadi.

We continue east and cruise across to the small port of Schinoussa where we usually see large luxury yachts, we cruise south and pass by all the beaches on the southwest side of the island, Tsigouri, Livadi, Ai Vasilis, Gagavi and Alygaria.

We then head north-east and arrive at Kato (lower) Koufonisi. We can visit Nero, one of the southern beaches of the island or we can choose to continue east to the Chora in Pano (upper) Koufonisi and have lunch. Then heading east, we go to the best beaches, which have made Koufonisia famous in the first place: Italida (Platia Pounta) and Italidoula, as well as Devil’s Eye (Piscina), which is essentially rock formations creating natural, small pools and we end our tour with the famous Pori!

We keep heading turn northwest, and make another (last stop) by the amazing Gala beach and afterwards we start heading back to Sifnos, till we reach Platis Gialos and finish off a simply incredible day full of memories that will last a lifetime!
