General: Ideal for trekking

Fri, 16 May 2008 10:21:17 GMT

I found about Samos on the Internet and thought it was a nice place for trekking. Indeed, it was a very green island with beautiful landscapes, paved roads among the forests and lots of things to do and see, not only beaches. The restaurants were nice, although they should have more dishes. If you go, rend a car because the island is quite big and you will have a lot to see. Be careful, though,...

General: Nice and quiet

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 stayi...

Villages: Great Time

Fri, 16 May 2008 10:21:17 GMT

I have been going to Samos every summer for as long as I can remember. I especially love the village of Pythagorion. The beaches and night life are the best anywhere. I especially enjoyed my stay at the Anthemis Cafe. The owners were very nice and hospitable. Thank you and I will be back.

General: Beautiful but not as Lesvos

Fri, 16 May 2008 10:21:17 GMT

Last year I had the chance to visit Greece. After a few days to Athens we went to the island of Lesvos and then to the one of Samos. I liked Samos but for me, Lesvos was better, with more things to see and do, a most beautiful capital, lovely villages and a greatest atmosphere.
The good things in Samos was the village where we stayed, Pythagorio, which was very cute with its small whitew...

General: Not what I remembered

Fri, 16 May 2008 10:21:17 GMT

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...

General: Samos: a very pleaseant island

Fri, 16 May 2008 10:21:17 GMT

Samos is a beautiful, green island. Its capital is not as picturesque as the ones of other Greek islands but it has its charm and the waterfront is lovely (but touristy).
We had booked a room in the old part of the village of Karlovassi and we were really pleased about it. The village was cute, the owner of the pension really nice and we had a beautiful beach at a very short distance. We wen...
