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 extremely friendly and helpful. The beaches are mainly shingle around Kokkari with wonderful restaurants and relaxing bars.
If you're looking for nightlife with clubs and people who like to drink excessively (you know the type), well then, Samos would NOT be for you! If you wish to explore the many sights or lay on the beach and enjoy wonderful greek food with a drink in the evening, then Samos IS the place to go. A lovely relaxing break.
If something should be improved about the island, then this would be the local transport. However, taxis are reasonably cheap. Ask local taxi drivers for recommendations to restaurants.... they took us to some amazing places we would never have found on our own!
