Find your perfect holiday in Samos

Samos has several charming villages where you get a taste of authentic Greek life. In coastal towns such as Kokkari and Pythagorion, you stroll past colourful harbours, lively terraces and narrow streets with small shops. Pythagorion is named after the famous mathematician Pythagoras, who was born on Samos, and has a lovely seafront promenade. In the mountain villages, time seems to stand still. Here you enjoy local dishes, traditional architecture and beautiful views over the green landscape.

Samos is known as one of the greenest islands in Greece, with forested hills and impressive mountain areas. A popular sight is the Potami waterfall, reached via a walking trail through a green valley. The mountain Kerkis, the highest point on the island, attracts hikers who are rewarded with stunning views over the Aegean Sea along the way. Afterwards, drive past the vineyards and visit a local winemaker to taste the famous Muscat of Samos.

Along the coast of Samos you find a mix of wide beaches and small, quiet bays. The clear water makes the island popular with swimmers and snorkellers. Beaches such as Tsamadou Beach and Psili Ammos are among the best known on the island. Take a boat trip from one of the coastal towns and discover hidden beaches and secluded bays only accessible from the water. Along the way, you take in the rugged coastline, small fishing harbours and the clear waters of the Aegean Sea.
