Karlovassi to Fourni Route Map
Karlovassi to Fourni is covered both by Blue Star Ferries' Blue Star Myconos and by the smaller Megalochari run by Sea Gem Maritime Company. The direct mainline crossing takes under an hour, while the local boat, which calls at other harbours in the cluster, can take a little over two. Either way it is a short passage across to the small archipelago that sits between Samos and Ikaria.
Fourni, properly Fourni Korseon, is a fishing island with one of the largest fleets in Greece relative to its size. The main port town sits in a sheltered bay with tavernas along the harbour front, and the seafood is the reason many people come. Beyond that it is quiet beaches and a slow, undeveloped island feel, with the surrounding waters known to archaeologists for their ancient wrecks.
Between the two operators sailings run roughly daily in season, with fares starting around €13. The current timetable and prices are shown below. The local boat also links Thymena and Chryssomilia, so Fourni makes a good base for exploring the rest of the cluster.
