Fournos, Kimolos

Fournos is a quiet holiday home in Kimolos, Greece, set close to the island’s main road with a terrace that’s made for slow mornings and sea-breeze evenings. The property’s Japanese garden is a standout detail, giving the outdoor space a calmer rhythm than you’ll find in more built-up areas. Inside, air conditioning helps you settle quickly after time in the sun, and the home is set up with family rooms that suit mixed groups who want to stay together without feeling cramped. Guests also note the practical comfort of outdoor furniture for lingering outside, and the free wired internet is useful if you need to plan ferry times or map out beaches.

In terms of location, Fournos places you within about 800 meters of Psathi Beach, so you can reach the sand and water without committing to a long outing. Elephant Beach is under a kilometer away as well, making it easy to compare coves and swim spots in the same day. For a change of pace, Chorio Village is roughly 6 km from the property, where you can experience a more traditional island feel.
