Samos Reviews -General

There is no doubt that all the islands in Greece are beautiful, each one expresses its local culture and traditions. Some are popular, others which are located in the far eastern area of the Aegean Sea, one of them being Samos, and although cruiese ships by pass it, indeed, isone of the most interesting island you should visit. The trip is only fifty minutes by plane from Athens. Consider staying in a nice hotel Luxury, four star or B-three star. I would recommend the Kalidon Palace in Kokkari, the service is excellent, the personel friendly and acommodating, excellent buffet breakfast, and dinner are included with your room. The view of the ocean and the Kokkari vilage is superb. You have to make reservations very early because it fills up quickly during the summer months. Visiting other small vilages up in the ountains is anincredible experience. Excellent food, many rstaurants and taverns by the sea, and I cannot say enough for the wine. The "Golden Samaina", an aromatic dry wine from the muscatel and other grapes will make you to reserve your hotel room for the following summer. The sweet muscatel wine, whose vines date back in the ancient times of Dionysos will make your stay on the island unforgettable. If you like history, a tour to the ancient antiquity sights will prove to you why the island was so popular to the ancient people that even Anthony and Cleopatra were regular visitors to the island and today the ruins of their palace are visible. Consider a trip to Greece next summer with your destination Samos. Sarantos Serviou.
