About Samos...

We went Easternly, 1.280 meters from the coasts of the previously flourished Ionias. So much is the distance of the nearest point of Samos, Psili Ammos, from Asia Minor's coastline. If the travels fascinate you, if the Archipelago charms you, if the alternations of green with light blue you fascinates you, then let's go! After 12 hours from Athens we will reach in the wonderful Samos. We won't get bored, because of the endless view from islands, that we will meet in the way.

The island has two harbors, in Karlobasi and in Bathi. Both of them have h a lot of beauties, carry their history, that easily can be approached, visiting, in the Bathi the Art gallery, the Public Library, the Archaeological, the Ecclesiastical and Byzantine Museum, the Mayrogeneio Faculty and in Karlobasi Porfyriada Faculty, the Hegemonic Palace, Chatzigianneio, the Mathematic Faculty, the Folklore Museum, the Careenage, the Tanneries, the Waterfalls in the River. In the graphic Pythagorean, we will visit the relic of Polykrateis' Walls of ancient city, the Tower of Logotheti, Romanic Loutra, Eypalineio Orygma, the Ancient Theater. In the Millous, the Tower of Sarakini. We will surely go in the Iraion, even if we are not faithful of the godness Ira. In the Mytilinioys we will guided in Palaiontologic and Oryktologic Museum, in Marathokampo we will find ourself in the Cavern of Pythagoras. In the Aylakia we will go, simply, because they are beautiful and authentically! Still, a lot of monasteries, great samples of architecture, will be found in a lot of villages of island, with older that of Panagia of Brontianis (1476) in their Boyrliotes. And also we will participate in any festiva in order to try the traditional “feast”, that is offered in festival's people.

Don't forget to visit the mountainous villages, these wonderful balconies with view of Aegean. Abelos, Stayrinides, Manolates, Boyrliotes, Pandrosos, Pirgos, Mayratzaioi, Pagondas, Kastania, Platanos, graphic and spotless villages , built in green, there that the ground is met with the sky. Let's stay there in the sunrise or for a afternoon, when the sun dyes red in the sea! We will never forget the coloured mountain range of northern coast of Samos. We can see verywhere attended cultivation, the vines in one almost elegant provision, in ancient built benches, rich trees all in green nuances, from the silver ear-green of the olive in the rich green of the lemon tree and the dark-geen of the cypress. The vegetation begins from the sea and it finishes there that also the mountains stops. And, naturally, such a vegetation has also rich fauna, infrequent mammals, like the Samos jackal and the Mediterranean seal. The wetlands that exist in the island function as stations of immigratory birds. Thus, proportionally the season, we can admire the flamingos, goose, akrokefalo, mikrotsiknia. Whilr walking in the countryside we see partridges, thrush, woodcocks, blackbird, quails, wood pigeons, turtledoves, , jaybirds, martins, while near the coasts sovereign is the presence of gull and least the shag, wild pigeon, the widgeon.

We do not want to leave… However, the time is implacable. We will take what we can from the beautiful island . Wine sweet, samiotiko, grapes, molasses, moystaleyria, honey, aromatic plants, oil, soyma (raki) we do not forget to supply ourself and, naturally, crockery and sure the “fair mug”.

We bid farewell the island of Pythagoras, Aristarchoy, Helping, Samos of Karmaniolon and Lykoyrgoy Logotheti, bard of Revolution, Kleanthi, Samos of our National Resistance and Democratic Army.

In its two mountains, high Kerki and the extensive and hospitable Karboyni the rebels wake up…
