Fourni



From the Aretiou Monastery the road goes through two pleasant mountain villages, Kastelli and Fourni. Fourni has a Byzantine church dedicated to Agios Ioannis Theologos dating from the fourteenth century and which contains frescoes. There are three other churches in the area although the frescoes in them are in a poor condition.
The village of Fourni is about 17km from Agios Nikolaos through Elounda. In the wider area there are several Byzantine churches.
