harbor with about 1,000 inhabitants, most of them fishermen. This is a fantastic place to relax and enjoy the sea. |

Be satisfied with a simple room and a fish-tavern. It is enough if you like to spend the evening at a cafe talking to the fishermen of Fourni. Fourni lies between Ikaria, Samos and Patmos. They have an area of 40 sq. km. and a coastline of 125 km. They are connected to Ayios Kirykos, which is 11 nautical miles away, both by a small, local boat and by a ferry boat which goes from Pireaus to the Cyclades, Ikaria, Fourni and Samos. There are no cars on the island. |
