FOURNI Six kilometers north
of Kranidi, this tiny village in
the mainland stands out for
its traditional island colour,
prominent in every corner.
From the narrow streets and the
flowery yards to the colourful
houses, the architecture
of which is reminiscent of
the coastal villages of the
Argosaronic Gulf, Fourni is
considered as the “small Paris”
of the region, according to
its almost 400 permanent
inhabitants. It is believed that
is was named after the second
daughter of King Fourneas,
who ruled in the area, while this
is where the pre-mycenaean
remnants of the ancient town
of Masitas are found. In Lazes
you will see an ancient greek
tower dating from 470 BC.
Complete your tour with a trip
to Lambagianna beach, within
short distance (just 3,5 km),
in the sea bed of which was
found a large settlement of the
mid 3rd millennium BC and in
the impressive Franchti Cave
located within short distance.
