The remote and scenic Fourni beach, we find it in the southwest part of the beautiful Rhodes Island near the village and castle of Monolithos. The capital Rhodos Town is about eighty kilometers away.
Surely the Fourni beach is one of the secret and still untouched corners of the island since it is located in the western part not very well known and emblazoned like its eastern sister above all for the fact that in this part of Rhodes the winds are felt more and often can It happens that the night storms bring the algae to the shore.
Fourni beach has a coastline of golden sand mixed with pebbles, transparent waters, a sparkling blue sea with a backdrop that descends quickly (hence the dark color) therefore not at all suitable for families with children also because being exposed waves can also be generated in the open sea. All around rock formations that like a tender hug seem to protect and pamper the area as well as small caves to be explored only if you are expert swimmers.
Given its exposure to the winds, Fourni beach is a very popular destination for fans of water sports such as surfing or windsurfing where they can have fun practicing this fascinating and difficult discipline.
It is equipped with a few sunbeds and umbrellas for €8 a day, the offer is very limited so if you want to spend a day here during your holiday in Rhodes, it would be better to come early in the morning to grab the comfort of a deckchair and a parasol. In case you don’t make it in time because you have lazed in your bed, there is free space where you can spread out your towel and enjoy so much peace and tranquility. If you don’t find shade under the few trees, we advise you to stand near the rocks on the right which give you some respite during the hottest hours of the day.
As far as catering is concerned, there is a small canteen where you will find fresh drinks and something to eat with excellent value for money.
Fourni beach is perfect for those who also love to explore the area with walks through the mountains and the barren landscape, for those who want to relax and get away from the usual crowded tourist places and for those who love the wind.
Do not miss the moment of sunset, from Fourni beach you can admire this wonderful gift from Mother Nature in all its magnificence with colors that go from orange to red to fuchsia and that you will hardly be able to forget.
It’s not difficult, but it is important to have a rental vehicle because there are no public buses that go up to here. Given its extension, in our opinion it is an island to experience with a car because distances are important and there are so many things to see in Rhodes, we challenge you to inspect it all during your holiday in Greece
First you will have to reach the Castle of Monolithos and then turn right going down to the sea. We inform you that the road to the beach is very steep and with many curves so let an expert drive. The view is something wonderful even if sometimes it’s a little scary due to the overhangs without parapets, only for strong hearts! It could be a great opportunity to visit the medieval Castle of Monolithos and stop to eat in the small village that has just one hundred inhabitants where, however, you can have an unforgettable meal in one of the typical taverns that serve local products such as lamb and sweet honey.
A stop to check off during your holiday in Rhodes for a moment of tranquility in an almost desert area and beautiful from a natural point of view.
