Prosfora beach

Located at the southeastern corner of the islet of Koufonissi, the beach of Prosfora is renowned for its mesmerizing beauty and serenity. Featuring crystal clear waters, a rocky seabed ideal for snorkeling and a long stretch of sand, Prosfora beach is the perfect destination for those looking for an idyllic beach getaway. However, those seeking some shade will be disappointed, as the beach has none. Climb up the rather steep sandy slopes and you’ll be rewarded with a stunning view of the ruins of the old lighthouse of Koufonissi, which were built on an ancient temple. The beach is named after the round rock located opposite the shore, which locals say resembles a prosphoron – a small loaf of leavened bread used in Orthodox Christian liturgies.
