Re: fourka - 13 years ago
We did not stop down that end of town (nothing to see to be honest) we used to go to Fourka twice a year for about ten years so not really a good experience to see the place so dead we did call in to see some old friends but Fourka was quite depressing. We now stay with some freinds in Neo Skioni we just love the place more a typical Greek town with some good bars and Tavernas sort of has a feelby Phil.P - Halkidiki
Re: fourka - 13 years ago
Just called in Victoria was closed and Bella Venizia a few Tavernas open around the square and a few gift shops but most were closed obviously due to the lack of self catering in the resort now a lot of Russians around but all no AI hence not enough trade for the tavernas. We spoke to a few freinds they are relying on the Greek's in July / Aug for the trade. Real shame as the place used to be bby Phil.P - Halkidiki

Re: Fourka 2009 - 14 years ago
Hi Marian we were in Fourka in June and September, the town is not what it used to be the whole place is full of Russians the bars are busy but you feel out of place being English. The Tavernas are very quiet due to the hotels that are open being all inclusive. There really is just no atmosphere anymore shame as we used to love the place. We now stay in Skioni nice quiet town good tavernas niby Phil.P - Halkidiki
