Fourni ferries About Fourni
The Fourni archipelago, is a true jewel, left untouched, in the Aegean Sea. The archipelago's ancient tradition has remained intact, thanks in part to its few inhabitants, who continue to carry on the tradition associated with fishing and agriculture.
The sea of the archipelago is very fishy, in fact the island's residents sell their fish at the fish market in Athens. The island is an ideal place if you want to take a vacation immersed in nature and experiencing every second of the tranquility of the place. You will have many trails surrounded by nature, where in ancient times pirates built their strategic hideouts.
Fourni has 3 main villages, Chrysomilea, Fourni Korseon and Thimaina.
The land has always been used since ancient times, as agricultural land, due to its vastness of territory. In the rural areas, it is easy to find the remains of monasteries built in the 16th century.
