Vathy to Fourni Route Map
Vathy to Fourni takes about two hours on Blue Star Ferries' Diagoras. The route runs west and south from the main Samian port to the small archipelago that lies between Samos and Ikaria. It is a large conventional ferry making a brief call at a very small island, which is part of the charm.
Fourni, properly Fourni Korseon, is a fishing island with a fleet far larger than its size suggests, and the harbourfront tavernas are the main reason people come. The port town sits in a sheltered bay and takes only a few minutes to walk. Beyond it are quiet beaches and a genuinely undeveloped feel, and the surrounding waters are known to archaeologists for their ancient shipwrecks.
Sailings from Vathy are limited to a couple a fortnight, with fares starting around €13. Current departures and prices are shown below. Karlovassi, on the north coast of Samos, has much more frequent links to Fourni, including small local boats that also serve Thymena and Chryssomilia.

Tips for the Vathy to Fourni ferry
- If you need an invoice for business travel, request it at the time of booking – it is much harder to obtain after the journey.
- If you are at a small island when a multi-day storm hits, accommodation will fill quickly as stranded passengers compete for rooms – secure yours immediately.
- Port kiosks and cafes are often the only food option before boarding – if you have dietary requirements, eat before you arrive.
- On a rough crossing, the best strategy is to fix your gaze on the horizon, breathe slowly, and avoid reading or looking at screens.
- Smoking is permitted only in designated outdoor areas at the stern; the rules are enforced more strictly on newer vessels.
