Patmos to Fourni Route Map
Patmos to Fourni takes about an hour and twenty minutes on the Dodekanisos Seaways catamaran and up to two and a half hours on the Blue Star conventional ferries. It is a short crossing north into the waters between Ikaria and Samos. The fast boat is the more common option in summer.
Fourni is a small archipelago with an outsized fishing fleet, and the seafood in the harbour tavernas is the reason many people come. The main port town, also called Fourni, sits in a sheltered bay with a taverna lined waterfront and very little development beyond it. Beaches are quiet and mostly reached by road or by small boat.
Sailings run several times a fortnight in season and drop sharply outside it, so check the return before you commit. The live timetable and fares are shown in the table below, starting around thirteen euros. Fourni connects most easily onward to Ikaria and Samos.

- Disembarkation is fast on small short-hop ferries; station yourself near the exit before the vessel reaches the harbour to avoid being last off.
- Most ferries have a small play area or supervised children's zone on larger vessels; ask crew on boarding if you are travelling with very young children.
- Children under a certain age travel free on most Greek ferry lines; the exact age threshold varies by operator, so check the terms when booking.
- On very short crossings of under 30 minutes, the vessel may not fully dock – passengers sometimes disembark via a small gangway onto a floating pontoon.
