The boundless Aegean blue contrasts well with the pristine white beaches in Koufonisia. However, what draws the most tourist attraction to the place, is a beach called Pori.
The water resembles a milk-mimicking chalky white seawater that earned its name, Milk, or Ouzo (a traditional Greek drink). A layer of calcium dust from the rock lends it the color white. After crossing Pori, tourists come across a rock, which looks like a lion. Although the cave and beach are small, they are a breathtaking spectacle. Don’t miss out on these underrated islands as they are as stunning as the more popular ones. Location : Caves, Koufonisi 843 00, Greece
