Taking only 1.30 hours to reach from Mykonos, it is an excellent one-day excursion! For the island lover, this chain of small, secluded islands is paradise regained. A visit here calls to mind the Greek island experience of 20 years ago, when things moved slower and pleasures were simpler.

Itinerary
1
Koufonissi
Koufonisia is a complex of 2 islets (Upper and Lower), being a part of the Small Cyclades. We first approach Ano Koufonisia. Along the coastline, we will encounter many small coves and rock caves that offer the possibility of diving. We will be on the beaches of Gala and Pori, which are famous among surf enthusiasts.
2 hours
2
Koufonissi
Stop at "the Devil's eye".
Continuing further we will find ourselves in “the Pool” or vastly known as "the Devil's eye". It is a natural hole in the rock, which creates a natural swimming pool. Very few visitors resist the temptation for a dive!
30 minutes
3
Koufonissi
Beach stop at Glaronisi.
Glaronisi is uninhabited. It has a lacy shoreline, creating small bays with blue-green waters; pictures that you think have sprung from a painting. The scenery is enchanting! You can swim in the crystal clear waters, sunbathe on the finest golden sand, stroll around the coast and enjoy your stay on the boat with the drink and snack we will offer you.
30 minutes
4
Koufonissi
Visit Chora.
Then we reach the port of Chora, which places the typical Cycladic calcareous houses of an amateur architecture that cannot be seen anywhere else.
30 minutes
5
Schinoussa
Lunch stop at Schinousa.
Schinousa is the next island we visit. The small island of ship-owners and captains, in a small enclosed bay, is the small picturesque harbor that has only 2-3 traditional Cycladic taverns, where you can taste the local cuisine.
2 hours
6
Irakleia
Snorkelling at Heraklia.
Last we approach the island of Heraklia, which is the westernmost point of the Small Cyclades. It has virgin beaches with crystal clear waters. But what impresses is the wreck we are going to visit. These are the remains of the German seaplane, which is only submerged at 11 m below and is visible with a mask. Impressive for those who love snorkeling!
