Fourni is a small archipelago with a strong fishing tradition and one of the biggest fleets in Greece relative to its size. The main port town, also called Fourni, sits in a sheltered bay with tavernas strung along the harbour front, and the seafood is a genuine reason to stop. Beyond that it is quiet beaches and an unhurried, undeveloped pace, and the waters around the islands are well known to archaeologists for ancient wrecks.
Sailings run a couple of times a week in season. The current timetable and fares are shown in the tables below. Fourni sits neatly between Ikaria and Samos, so it is easy to fold into a route heading north through the eastern Aegean.

- When booking for the return leg of a day trip, remember that the last ferry of the day can fill up – book your return at the same time as your outward journey.
- Booking a summer return to Athens a week or two before departure gives you flexibility while still securing a ticket before the final-week rush.
- Winds above Force 8 will cancel almost all Greek ferry services; in summer these conditions are very unusual but not impossible, especially with deep Mediterranean lows.
