The experience
A crescent of fine golden sand and shallow turquoise water at the wild northeastern tip of tiny Ano Koufonisi, backed by nothing but two seafood tavernas.
The Lesser Cyclades have no airport — ferries only — so Santorini's crowds never make it here.

It's only worth the detour May–Oct. Turn up outside that window and you're looking at a different place; we'd rather say so than sell you the photo.
