Fournoi Greece is a small island group in the eastern Aegean Sea. It lies between Samos, Ikaria, and Patmos. The main island, also called Fournoi, is the largest. In addition, the group includes Thymaina and several uninhabited islets.

Fournoi Town, the island’s port and main settlement, sits on the southern coast. Unlike busy tourist spots, Fournoi stays quiet and authentic. As a result, many visitors come here to escape the crowds.

The landscape is rugged and natural. Hills and cliffs meet deep blue waters. Olive groves, fig trees, and goats cover the hillsides. Small valleys break up the rocky terrain. 

The coastline stretches over 120 kilometers. Therefore, the island offers many beaches—more than 50. Some are sandy, others pebbled. Psili Ammos, Vlychada, and Kampi lie near the town and attract more visitors. On the other hand, beaches like Petrokopio and Elidaki require walking or a boat ride. 

Accommodations stay simple. Small hotels and guesthouses line the streets of Fournoi Town. A few rooms to rent also appear in nearby villages. Although options are limited, most places provide comfort and good hospitality. Local tavernas serve fresh fish, goat dishes, wild greens, and honey-based desserts. Everything tastes homemade.

Travelers usually arrive by ferry. There is no airport on the island. Regular boats run from Samos and Ikaria. In summer, ferries also connect Fournoi to Piraeus and nearby islands. Renting a car or scooter helps explore more remote areas. However, many places remain reachable on foot.

The best time to visit Fournoi Greece is from May to October. During this period, the weather stays warm, and the sea is perfect for swimming. In July and August, the island sees more visitors, yet still feels uncrowded.
