CHOOSE YOUR BASE

Stay close to the pace you want.

01

Vathy

For harbour life and town history.

02

Pythagorio

For ancient roots and sea-side dinners.

03

Kokkari

For beach days and a northern breeze.

MAKE TIME FOR

Three moments worth protecting.

  1. 01

    Drive the inland roads

    Vineyards and hills are essential to Samos.

  2. 02

    Keep Pythagorio for evening

    History sits naturally beside the water.

  3. 03

    Let a village lunch run long

    The island prefers an unhurried table.

PLAN IT WELL

Keep the route generous.

PACE

Choose fewer places.

One well-timed base creates a better island day than constant transfers.

MOVE

Use the road when it helps.

Local driving opens the quieter side of the island.

TIME

Leave a day open.

The best decision is often made after breakfast.

TRAVEL TOOLS

Plan the arrival, then follow the day.

THE TAKEAWAY

Let the island set the pace.

The most memorable days leave room for a swim, a long table and one road or harbour you did not plan to love.
