Many ways lead to Fourni, all of them across the water. Your only chance to get a helicopter ride is to fall in need of a hospital.
Several times a week the Piraeus-Samos car-ferries go to
Fourni. However, their timetables do not depend on flight schedules
at the airport of Athen or Samos, so plan to stay
for a night or two.
Hydrofoils along the Samos-Patmos route include Fourni in their
schedule in summer once or twice a week. While this is the fastest way
to cross the sea, these old Russian-designed yellow-blue sporty vessels
need the occasional unscheduled maintenance job, most likely just as
you were planning to book a fare. Note: Stormy seas keep hydrofoils
moored in port.
Can also be book at Irini Karla.
AG NIKOLAOS
Also the local boat "AG NIKOLAOS"
is available. It connects two times a week the island and Ikaria and
goes three times a week to Karlovassi on Samos or to Marathokampos on
stormy weather.
Lefteris Kotteras
Lefteris Kotteras is the man
you can count on - at least if it's about seafaring he is a reliable
and capable partner. Lefteris transports Humans as well as animals
between the archipelago of Fourni. If the weather is settled he also
goes to Samos, Ikaria and Patmos.

Samos Spirit
The Samos Spirit is equipped with a newer and better engine. Except mondays it operates daily between Samos, Ikaria and Fourni.
Port Police Fourni
Everytime a ship arrives at the harbour, the port police take centre
stage, clad in sparkling white and equipped with whistles. Depending on
the weather they decide who can sail from the port and who is allowed
to enter. In fact, for timetable information approaching any degree of
reliability, they are your best source. Particularly when there is no
ship in sight, that is when you find them in their first floor office
above Nikos restaurant.
