Thymena to Fourni Route Map

Map of the north Aegean showing the ferry route east-south-east from Thymena to Fourni.

Thymena to Fourni is about as short as ferry crossings get, roughly five minutes on the Megalochari of Sea Gem Maritime Company. It is a local link within the Fourni archipelago rather than a journey in any real sense, and you barely have time to sit down. The boat is small and the trip is entirely within sheltered water between the islands.

Fourni, properly Fourni Korseon, is the main island and town of the cluster, set in a sheltered bay with tavernas along the harbour front. It has one of the larger fishing fleets in Greece for its size, and the seafood is the main reason people linger. Beyond that the appeal is quiet beaches and a genuinely undeveloped pace.

The hop runs most days in season, and the current timetable and fares are shown below. Fourni is the hub of the little archipelago, so this is where you pick up onward connections to Ikaria and Samos. Sailings are weather-dependent, as with all small-boat services out here.

Tips for the Thymena to Fourni ferry

  • Cable or combination luggage locks sold at airports offer minimal real security but do deter casual interference; a proper padlock is better.
  • Passports or national identity cards are required for all passengers on domestic Greek ferry routes – carry yours in your day bag, not buried in your hold luggage.
  • A short crossing gives you a very limited window to buy food on board; eat before you board or bring your own snacks.
  • The sea temperature in the Aegean ranges from around 15°C in winter to 27–28°C in late summer; falling overboard in winter is a serious emergency.
  • The sirocco (southerly warm wind from North Africa) brings haze and uncomfortable heat to Greek ports in late spring and early summer; it rarely lasts more than a day or two.
