More about: Samos island
I have been to Samos Greece 10 years ago and I went back last year. The change was quite obvious and I was a bit disappointed and sad about what it has become.
First of all, a great part of the island has been burned by big fires around 1999; horrible fate for such a green and fresh place! Fortunately some parts of the island have been spared so you can have an idea of how was the entire island before this terrifying catastrophe. Of course, the beautiful beaches of Samos are still there but many of them have been spoiled by tons of sun beds, umbrellas and cafes.
I remember when I first went that it was so easy to find deserted places for a relaxing swim; now it has become quite difficult, unless you go there in spring or in during September. I can?t say I had a bad time last year but it sure wasn?t at all what I remembered.
