Samos is part of the North-Eastern Aegean Islands
and is located in the southern part of the group,
near the Turkish coast, from which it is separated
by the narrow Mykale Straits (3km wide).
It is the most visited island of the North-Eastern
Aegean but keeps its beauty and attractiveness.
The island is particularly green, with verdant
mountains.

| Despite the catastrophic fires
which burned an important part of the island a few
years ago, Samos has kept enough of its forests
and vegetation for still being impressive. |
With this greenery, idyllic beaches of pure white
sand and crystalline waters are completing the lovely
landscapes of the island.
Samos holiday has something for everyone: busy beach
resorts and, in its hinterland, unspoiled villages
and terrific mountain vistas.
Apart from its beautiful landscapes and its traditional
character, Samos is also known for its excellent wine
which is made from the local Muscat grapes and is exported
in all Greece and around the world. |

Holidays in Samos are ideal for the wonderful nature,
