General Reviews about Samos, Eastern Aegean, Greece |
What most people don't know about Samos is that there are many small islets nearby, easy reachable with boats. Actually there is a group of more than ten islets, between Samos and Ikaria, but among them, only two are inhabited.
We visited Fourni, as we thought it was the most populated one. The... More >
Samos is blessed with exotic landscape and abundant vegetation. The lush green mountains, the smell of wines and the mystery of the ancient sites render a unique appeal to this Greek island. We stayed at a resort in the capital town Vathy. The town is filled with Venetian style buildings. Due to... More >

Samos was actually our last minute choice as we couldn't find ferry tickets to Ikaria. However, we don't regret it because we indeed had a great time! Beaches were wonderful and very clean. Lemonakia and Tsamadou were crowded but you can still find excellent quiet beaches on the northern side. We... More >

We recommend visitors to use Karlovassi on Samos as home base instead of Samos Town or Kokkari, it is far more "Greek" in culture. All beaches on Samos were nice, all without any exception. My favourite was Lemonakia, although my husband prefered other beaches more quiet. All the food was also... More >
My friends and I booked the Villa Litsa in Kervelli Bay, Samos for a week in July 2009. The Villa was lovely. However, I had emailed the owner to ask if it had hills or steps to it as I am in a wheelchair with limited mobility. The reply was that I should refer to the web site. Nowhere did it... More >

Samos is a very pleasant island to spend vacation on. The island is overall very green and show very different aspects: beaches for sunbathing and swimming, small fishing and mountain villages, antique sites like in Pythagorion. We elected to stay in 4 different places in Samos during our 9 days... More >
Beauty in wildness

Samos is still quite wild as tourism is not too widespread. Hotels are certainly many but you do not find the organized beach resorts that exist, for example, in Rhodes or Mykonos. Maybe because Samos is much bigger in size.
I liked Greek food very much on Samos, local people were very friendly... More >
Ravages of The Great Depression forced my father to leave this beautiful green and luscious island in 1930. Unfortunately, he only made it back once in his lifetime. Surely his spirit has returned. Samos is an ideal place to "R n R" and a great place for singles, couples or family. It is perfect... More >

Samos was recommended to us by friends who have visited many times and loved the island... I have to agree, it's beautiful. If you are interested in historical monuments and greek culture, then you won't be disapointed. The whole island is lush green and very clean. The people are fabulous and... More >
