Porto Koufo is the largest and safest natural harbor in Greece
Porto Kufo is the largest natural and perhaps safe port in Greece, measuring 1,600 m in length and 550 m in width. In translation his name means “Deaf harbor” and this is because the bay is so steep that the noise of the sea is barely heard. It was a hiding place for Turkish pirate ships, and during the Second World War, the Germans used it as a base for their submarines.
According to the legend, the ancient inhabitants named the place because the sound of the sea was not heard in the bay. And indeed – the waves in Porto Koufo look quiet. The water is so calm that the sky reflects the world. The village has a small but beautiful beach, and the views you see here look like scenes from a movie – you can watch sunset, diving with fish, rent a boat or sleep in a tent under an open sky …
Now Porto Koufo is a small village, quiet and peaceful, full of fishing boats, sailing and motor yachts. In the morning, when I woke up at 9am, I had the feeling that we were there alone, quietly and calmly.
