Holidays in Fournoi of Ikaria island

Fournoi of Ikaria "Fournoi Korseon" is a cluster of many small islands at the Northeastern Aegean Sea, between Ikaria and Samos. An ideal destination not only for those seeking tranquility and relaxation but also delicious seafood! The largest islands of the group are Fourni; the main island of the complex, Thymaina and Agios Minas.

 

In the past, the island of Fournoi used to supply ancient Miletus with marble, while during Byzantine era the island was deserted and for this reason was often pirate lair.

 

The main village of Fournoi is Chora, which is also the port of the island. Residents’ main occupation is fishing; that’s why island's specialty is lobster and generally seafood. Chora remains unchanged in time with its narrow streets and traditional white houses. Walking up the cobblestone, whitewashed streets you will find the central square with its tall trees and picturesque cafés.

 

Opposite to the town lies Thymaina island which is worth visiting by boat and swimming in the beautiful beach of Keramidou.

 

Very close to Chora is the small Kampi village with the small pebble bay and the crystal waters. You enter Kampi village one kilometer away from Chora, just across the mills on the road to Chrysomilia. During summer you will see many yachts and boats.

 

Chrysomilia is the second largest and most quiet village in Fourni, 15 km from Chora, with a newly asphalted road and the homonymous beach with the turquoise waters.

 

Fournoi of Ikaria, with its wild and pristine beauty, its delicious seafood and tranquility offers visitor, divine holidays...
