Ferry from Athens (Piraeus) to Fourni

Fourni is reached from Piraeus on Blue Star Ferries services using the Blue Star Myconos and the Blue Star Patmos, a crossing of around seven to eight hours. The island is a scheduled call on the longer eastern Aegean route rather than a service in its own right, so sailings tend to arrive at odd hours. These are conventional car ferries with cabins on the overnight runs.

Fourni Korseon is a small archipelago between Ikaria and Samos, and a genuine fishing community with a fleet that is large for the island's size. The main port town, also called Fourni, sits in a sheltered bay lined with tavernas along the harbour front, and the seafood is the obvious reason to eat out. Beaches are quiet and undeveloped, and the whole place moves slowly.

Direct sailings are infrequent, a handful over a fortnight, so plan the return leg at the same time as the outbound. Current departures and fares are shown below, starting around €59.50. Local boats link Fourni with Ikaria and Samos and give you more options for getting on and off.

Hiring a car

Can you rent a car in Piraeus?

Yes, several agencies meet passengers directly at the ferry gates (E1 to E12), so there is no need to arrange transport into central Athens first. It suits travellers continuing on to the mainland rather than islanders, since central Athens is only 20 minutes away and has good metro and bus links. Compare local suppliers at Discover Cars.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Piraeus to Fourni ferry

• Piraeus port is large, with departure gates E1 to E12 spread along the waterfront – allow extra time to find yours, as it can be a 15–20 minute walk from the metro station, and check the gate number printed on your ticket.
• Ferries to the Saronic islands – Aegina, Hydra and the nearby islands – depart from Gate E8, while Cyclades sailings (Mykonos, Santorini, Paros, Naxos) leave from gates in the E6–E10 range, so double-check your specific gate on arrival.
• Take Metro Line 1 or Line 3 to Piraeus station, then use the free shuttle bus that circulates around the port roughly every 10–15 minutes, linking the metro to all gates – useful if your ferry departs from a distant terminal such as E2 or E3.
• There is no parking inside the port itself, so if you are driving, use one of the private car parks nearby rather than looking for a space at the gate; ticket booths at each gate can print e-tickets if you have not already.
• If you feel claustrophobic in enclosed spaces, reserve a window seat or opt for an outdoor berth – the open deck is always available.
