Koufonisia Genoupas beach

General information

If you’re looking forward to discovering some of the better-hidden secrets of Kato Koufonisi, check out Genoupas Beach, an enchanting cove denting the islet’s southwestern coast. This little-frequented paradise is ideal for relaxation, while the magnificent sea views and the crystalline turquoise waters will more than reward you for seeking it out.

The most common way of reaching Genoupas is by following a trail from the more popular Nero Beach for about 20 minutes. The hike is relatively easy, but the final descent can be somewhat slippery, so wearing solid walking shoes is strongly recommended. However, you can also get there by arranging your transfer with the boatmen operating water taxis at Ano Koufonisi. Just make sure to be equipped with plenty of water and anything else you might need, as there are no beach facilities nearby.
