One-day trip to the unexplored paradise of Fourni
A few words about the magical Fourni:
Fourni together with Thymaina and about 20 other small islands belong to an island complex with Fourni as its capital. They have probably been inhabited since the Archaic and Classical times. During Byzantium and the Middle Ages, the natural coves of the cluster of islands made the area suitable for raids protected from the strong winds that blow in the Aegean and consequently it was a den of pirates. Fourni was characterized in 2015 as the world capital of ancient shipwrecks, when 22 wrecks of ancient merchant ships were discovered in 13 days of research.
