Why go

A small fishing community across the channel from Fournoi.

Thymaina is a quiet inhabited island with a single hillside village, fishing traditions and basic boat links to neighbouring Fournoi.

Thymaina rises steeply across a narrow channel from Fournoi. Its village faces the water in tiers of simple houses, with fishing and small-scale pastoral life shaping the community.

There are few visitor facilities and no conventional attractions. Walks, swims and views across the archipelago fill the day, while the relationship with Fournoi provides essential supplies and transport.

Practical information

Local boats connect with Fournoi, subject to weather and season. Confirm the return trip, carry cash and all essentials, and respect residents' privacy.
