Gala Beach Koufonisia

Pisina is a unique and enchanting natural landmark on the eastern coast of Ano Koufonisi, essentially a small, circular pool carved into the coastal rocks by the sea. The name means "pool," and it perfectly describes this hidden gem where you can swim in calm, turquoise water protected by a natural stone rim. It is a favorite stop for those walking the coastal path, offering a very intimate and photogenic swimming experience. The water inside the pool is refreshed by the waves and is exceptionally clear. It is a very simple and raw location with no facilities, emphasizing the island’s connection to its volcanic and geological roots. Jumping into the pool from the surrounding rocks is a quintessential Koufonisia experience. It is a place of great natural charm and quiet wonder, tucked away in a landscape of white stone and deep blue sea.
