It's really Northern Aegean, isn't it, but I see only Eastern Aegean, Cyclades, etc. listed and I think it's too far north for these island groups. Just wondering if anyone has been there, and what it's like in terms of a destination. Does it get many tourists at all? Are there other islands nearby? Thanks!

Actually thats where I am from! It doesn't get many tourists but it is a nice island. It gets ferries and boats. It's not a high-tech island. I haven't been there in years but I am going this summer, so I will post more info about the island itself. There are no islands near by, north of it of course is Thrace and to the east is Turkey, the closest island is probobly Limnos, but thats it. <33 Back to top     o_xenos Moderator Joined: 28 Jul 2005 Posts: 151 Location: Toronto, Canada     Posted: Tue Jul 04, 2006 6:05 pm    Post subject: Yes, please post more - would like to learn more about Samothraki!

But mountains are closer than the sea. Never lived there. Just my family village. But the city itself is really ugly... It is the second worst I ever seen. The first is Heraklion. Not all the city of course but some important parts looks like a big "Omonia"! _________________ www.greeka.com The Greek Islands specialists Back to top     Leetheea Greeka - Newbie Joined: 23 Jun 2006 Posts: 5 Location: Tucson AZ     Posted: Sat Dec 09, 2006 8:14 am    Post subject: ya i guess u could say that the villages are runned down? but samothraki is the best kamariotissa is very nice, they have a good internet cafe!!! and some good clubs- (my cousins club!!!!!) and some good goat and lamb up in the horio like Alonia, where im from!!!!! its pretty much THE BEST ISLAND!!!! jk no it really is Back to top     alpiega Greeka - Tourist Joined: 24 Feb 2007 Posts: 17     Posted: Sat Feb 24, 2007 4:36 am    Post subject: Hello!I'm new here but I have many pictures of samothraki that I'd like to share with you,so you can see that is a beautiful island!
