Pisina: The natural pool ‘miracle’ at Ano Koufonisi

Ultimate swimming experience on Koufonisi at a unique rock location resembling a pool

Newsroom June 9 11:10

Diving into a swimming pool and remerging from the sea, or vice versa, is just not possible, despite the development of infinity pools as close as they can be to coastlines or the installation of saltwater ocean pools that have begun appearing in other parts of the world.

If, however, you are looking for a swimming experience that truly blurs the line between swimming pool and sea, definitely head to Ano Koufonisi and look for the beach location dubbed Pisina, meaning swimming pool. The setting here is rocky, a complete contrast to the golden-sand beach features that have made this Cyclades destination renowned.

These rocky features have created a small miracle of nature at the spot, resembling a private swimming pool. Over the ages, seawater salt and crashing waves carved out a natural cavity, horizontally, the size of an actual swimming pool.
