Fournoi Korseon (Greek: Φούρνοι Κορσέων or Greek: Φούρνοι Iκαρίας - Fournoi Ikarias), more commonly simply Fournoi, is a complex or archipelago of small Greek islands that lie between Ikaria, Samos and Patmos in Ikaria regional unit, North Aegean region. The two largest islands of the complex, the main isle of Fournoi (31 km²) and the isle of Thymaina (10 km²), are inhabited, as is Agios Minas Island (2.3 km²) to the east. On the main isle Fournoi (town) is the largest settlement and then Chrysomilia in the north the second largest (and third largest overall, after Thymaina). Fournoi (town) proper is the main ferry harbor, with ferries also landing on Thymaina.

Fourni, as proven by various archeological sites and other findings on the islands, have been the home of a civilization dating back to the 3rd century B.C. 'till the 2nd to 3rd century A.C.

The islands are uniquely characterized by their extremely complicated coastline, the total length of witch is 126 kilometers, while the area of the islands counts merely 48 sq. kilometers.

They're run through by easy to follow asphalt roads, while paths and traditionally built steps lead to lots of beaches with transparent waters, such as Vlichada, Kassidi, Petrokopio, Elidaki, Vitsilia and more.

The highest peaks are Korakas (514m.), Fanas (476m.) and Pappas of Thymaina (470 m.).

Many of the inhabitants are fishermen, although during the summer season the population is also occupied in tourist activities, mostly room rentals and catering.

The climate is arid and hot during summers. Winters are rather mild with average rainfall but constant strong archipelagic winds prevail.

You'll enjoy swimming in exotic waters, staying in hospitable rooms, tasting traditional Greek dishes, fresh fish and lobsters, as well as local honey and cheese of fine quality.

But most of all, we are sure you will discover the beauty of simplicity and serenity, at a place extremely authentic, in a way only Greek islands can be.
