Fourni is known to be one of the most attractive beaches on Rhodes Island. However, due to the large distance from Rhodes city and its remote location the beach is never really crowded.
Visitors often give priority to the other neighbouring beaches during their Rhodes Holidays but none of those beaches are more attractive than the Fourni Beach.
The beach is beautiful with small, soft but pebbly shoreline and has a stunning background of lush green mountainsides.
Road to Fourni Beach:
Fourni beach is associated with the city of Rhodes by a disordered narrow road. The narrow path has some astonishing bends that sometimes can make one feel on the extreme edge of cliffs.
The narrow road progressively gets even and leads to a petite cul-de-sac of a small area having pine forests.

You can enjoy fresh juices, fruits, snacks, beers and other light refreshments on the cafés and cantinas present on deck of the beach. There is also a small rock formation here that provides a good shade for the sun.
