Lovely sandy beach, south facing and therefore affording a bit of shelter from the Meltemi if it is blowing. Wonderful swimming in clear water reminiscent of Laggeri on Paros. A de facto CO beach, busy even in June, with the percentage of naturists varying from 50% in the morning to about 25% mid-afternoon, and back to 50% towards late afternoon.

The number of textiles may be influenced by the arrival of the beach caique from the Chora, and by the fact that other textile beaches (Finikas, Charakopous and Thanos) were more exposed.

2004 June: The Captain confirmed the impression. Nudists were in a minority at certain times of the day but nobody seemed to care, there was total tolerance of everyone's preferred attire (or lack of it) and the swimming here was just glorious.

2005 August:  A report says the beach at Platia Pounta was excellent, with 50% naturists before noon. As the beach got more crowded, this rate plunged to no more than 4 or 5 people out of about 100 (mostly Greek students and straight couples). Nobody seemed to bother with the presence of naturists though.

2011 September: I have visited Koufonissi in early September most years since 1999. The proportion of nudists on Italida (as most people call it) has declined over the years and sometimes you will not see any. Usually though there are a handful at the eastern end of Italida (furthest from the village). There is a small sandy cove as you reach Italida from the village (or from where the boat stops) which is sometimes used by nudists and sometimes not. Beyond Italida there is also a small pebble beach (on the right of the photo above). In September 2011 this was quite crowded with mainly nudists although in some years I haven't seen any nudists here. Walking along from Italida to Pori you will see various very small pebbly beaches and places where people sunbathe on rocks, including a place where there is a rock pool. Nudism is often seen in some of these places.

2012: In early July all of the beaches were busy with textiles with just one or two nudists on one beach. As mentioned above, the cove to the right in the photo above was 100% nude with about 6 to 10 people. This writer went nude in all of the other coves.

2013: In early July the beach was very busy, especially on windy days, when the sea at Italida is quite calm. It's now more crowded than Fanos Beach. At the end of the Italida, just before the coves, there were some nude people, about 10 people. At the rest of the beach most of the women went topless, something that seems to be unusual at Finikas and Fanos.

2016: In late June this beach is almost all naturist, although a few people here and there are clothed, some topless. The beach is very beautiful and the sandy ocean bottom is fantastic! A lot of people, but still plenty of space.
In the third week of September the beach was mainly nudist.

2022: At the start of July the beach was full of people and no one was nude. Some nude people were at the next beach (Alejandra)

2023 September: There were about 15% nude on this beach all down the far end of the beach. No issues at all. Mid June the eastern corner of the beach was mostly nude every day - typically 10-15 males and 4-5 females fully nude but many more topless. Usually more nudity in the morning than the afternoon. The beach is quite sheltered from northerly winds, so, when the wind is blowing hard, numbers of textiles can increase as they abandon other beaches in search of shelter.

2024 September: very nice beach, gentle descent to the water, sandy, on the eastern side of the beach most nudists, 50/50 women and men, many topless, a few people come in textiles and after a while they undress. This year an exceptionally large number of people on the island at the end of September.
