In the footsteps of Pythagoras

Boasting an enchanting fusion of island bliss and cultural wealth, Samos is an island for adventurers and bon vivants alike: sun, sea and countless sights provide ideal prerequisites for a multi-facetted and action-filled dream holiday.

The Greek island in the Aegean Sea, north of the Dodecanese islands, is the birthplace of mathematician Pythagoras. With a plethora of ancient architectural ruins on offer, it is a treasure trove for fans of Greek antiquity. Sun worshippers looking for long, sandy beaches will search in vain on Samos. Instead, the island stuns with beguilingly beautiful natural coves and hot, dry weather from April to October. Those who want to swim near Samos city should visit the beautiful bay of Agia Paraskevi.
