Fourni beach

Fourney is a tiny beach located in a rocky bay. It is next to mountain peaks, dense forest and underwater caves. A dirt road leads to it, starting in the vicinity of the village of Caravas. The local infrastructure consists of a small restaurant, toilet, sun loungers, sun umbrellas and several hammocks located at the foot of the rocks.

Beach description

Greek cuisine and refreshments are served only in one place of Fourney. From there you can hear the best reggae, swing and classical music. Sometimes there are improvised parties in a close circle of friends. Away from the bar at 50-70 meters, you will find many secluded places on stone slabs. They are popular among people who want to be alone or sunbathe topless.

The beach is characterized by sharp depth difference, strong waves and refreshing wind. It is not recommended to move farther than 5-7 meters from the shore for the novice swimmers. The surface of Fourni is covered with fine pebbles, on which you can walk on barefoot (being careful). Local waters and the beach are characterized by flawlessly clean. Wrappers and cigarette butts are found only near the bar.

Fourni is quiet and not crowded place. Here you can find free space even on weekdays and weekends. Well, at 7-8 in the morning there is absolute silence here. The beach itself is located in north-eastern part of the island Kythira. You can reach this place only by car or a taxi.

When is the best time to go?

Greece - a country with a long length from north to south, so the recommendations will vary depending on the place where you are going. The holiday season  begins in May and reaches a peak in July-August: there are too many tourists, and the temperature on the southern islands reaches 40 degrees, which may still not play a role on the beach, but certainly not suitable for sightseeing. So the best time to relax in Greece is the end of spring-beginning of summer or September-October.
