SAMOS
A captivating destination where the lush green mountains embrace the deep blue Aegean Sea. Samos, the birthplace of Pythagoras and home to the famous sweet wine, invites you to explore its traditional villages, breathtaking landscapes, and beaches that cater to every taste. One of the most charming islands of the Aegean, where every step is a new experience.
From the impressive Tunnel of Eupalinos and the ancient Heraion, to picturesque villages and exotic beaches, Samos enchants visitors with its authenticity and natural grandeur.
Vathy
Vathy, the capital of Samos, spreads amphitheatrically around a natural bay, combining the liveliness of a town with the charm of island architecture. In Ano Poli (Upper Town), with its narrow cobblestone alleys and neoclassical mansions, a historic atmosphere reigns as if time has stood still. As the island’s capital, there are many cafés, tavernas, and shops that create a welcoming and relaxed pace of life. Highlights include the Archaeological Museum of Samos, which houses unique artifacts, including an impressive 5-meter-tall Kouros statue. A stroll through the Town Hall housed in a beautiful neoclassical building, the Wine Museum in Malagari, the Municipal Art Gallery, the Historical Archives of Samos, and the Church of Saint Spyridon, completes the cultural experience.
Tsamadou Beach
Tsamadou Beach is one of the most impressive and frequently photographed beaches on Samos, blending wild natural beauty with deep, crystal-clear waters. Tucked between pine-covered slopes that almost reach the shore, it offers a setting that feels both unique and nearly exotic. Though it has a beach bar and organized amenities, Tsamadou retains its authentic character.
Pythagoreio
Built on the ruins of ancient Samos, Pythagoreio is one of the island’s most historic and picturesque spots. With its waterfront lined with traditional cafés, tavernas, and sailboats rocking gently in the harbor, the area exudes romance and a sense of historical grandeur. Key attractions include the Archaeological Museum of Pythagoreio, with findings from the Archaic and Classical periods. Just outside the town lies the Temple of Hera (Heraion), one of antiquity’s most significant sanctuaries. The spirit of Pythagoras, who gave the town its name, still lingers in the air, adding depth and a spiritual touch to this unique corner of the Aegean.
Tunnel of Eupalinos
The Tunnel of Eupalinos on Samos is one of the most remarkable engineering feats of antiquity. Built in the 6th century BC by the engineer Eupalinos, it was designed to supply water to the ancient city of Samos, today’s Pythagoreio. The 1,036-meter-long tunnel was excavated simultaneously from both ends of the mountain and met in the middle with astonishing precision. Today, the Tunnel of Eupalinos is open to visitors and recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Potami Waterfalls
The Potami Waterfalls, near Karlovasi on Samos, are among the island’s most enchanting natural landscapes. Nestled in a lush gorge, the Kerkis River forms two small crystal-clear lakes. The falls are accessible via a roughly 1-kilometer path that winds through dense vegetation and wooden footbridges, offering a fairy-tale-like hike along the river. Along the way, visitors encounter the Church of the Transfiguration, the oldest on the island, and the Genoese Castle, adding a layer of historical interest to the experience.
Lemonakia Beach
Lemonakia Beach, near Kokkari on Samos, is a small paradise that combines natural beauty with comfort. Its turquoise, pristine waters and pebbled shore are framed by pine trees that stretch down to the sea, creating an idyllic landscape. The calm, clear waters make it perfect for snorkeling, with the seabed hiding small treasures for curious explorers.
