About the Beach

Pori is widely considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece, featuring a massive, horseshoe-shaped bay of fine golden sand and electric blue water. Located on the northeastern side of Ano Koufonisi, it feels like a tropical lagoon hidden in the heart of the Cyclades. The water is exceptionally shallow and clear for a long distance, making it feel like a giant, shimmering swimming pool. While it is unorganized in terms of sunbeds, there are a couple of very trendy and laid-back beach bars that provide excellent music, food, and drinks. The sense of space and light at Pori is incredible, offering wide views of the open sea and the nearby island of Kato Koufonisi. It is the ultimate destination for those seeking the perfect blend of raw natural beauty and a sophisticated, alternative summer vibe. The water clarity here is truly legendary and unforgettable.
