Fourni (specifically Epano Fourni) is one of the most picturesque and historic settlements of Upper Mirabello in the Lasithi prefecture, built in a fertile valley surrounded by hills.

The village preserves a unique architectural character, with stone houses and narrow alleys that testify to its past prosperity as a center of the local agricultural economy.

The most noteworthy feature to visit in Fourni is the Private Folklore Museum "Millstone" (Mylopetra), which houses significant exhibits of daily life and traditional arts of the region. The area also has a rich religious tradition, with the Monastery of Panagia Kerapolitissa dominating the northwest of the settlement, serving as an important spiritual and historical landmark for the entire Mirabello region.

A tour of Fourni reveals a place of tranquility directly connected to neighboring settlements like Kastelli via the Neapoli-Vroucha provincial road. Due to its location in the heart of an area with many old windmills and monasteries, Fourni is an ideal starting point for exploring the Cretan hinterland, offering visitors an authentic taste of Lasithi's cultural heritage.
