The original Greek island summer holiday
Samos, in the eastern part of the Aegean Sea, was one of the first Greek Islands to open up to holiday makers in the 1980s. It offers a classic Greek summer holiday - hot weather, jolly crowds, lively tavernas, sights to see, shops to browse and a selection of good beaches.
Pythagoras was born in Samos in the sixth century BC and the Island boasts many ancient relics and some spectacular architecture, which includes a temple and marble paved road lined with 2,000 statues.
The town of Samos, set in a curved bay with quaint pastel buildings, is built on a vibrant green hillside. The dramatic, indented coastline is dotted with sand and shingle coves, while inland the slopes of the mountains and hills are covered in Samian vines, verdant forest and delightful mountain villages with picturesque alleyways and friendly locals.
