Arriving in Samos

Samos, a lush green island of the northeastern Aegean, lies just a breath away from the Turkish coast and is reached from Piraeus several times a week, often via stops in the Cyclades, with summer links toward Mykonos as well. This is the birthplace of Pythagoras, and history feels close at hand: Pythagorio hugs its ancient harbour, while the Heraion sanctuary and the astonishing Eupalinos Tunnel are UNESCO-listed marvels of ancient engineering. Vineyards on the mountain slopes produce the famous sweet Samos muscat wine, and the green interior hides waterfalls and forested trails near Karlovasi. On the north coast, the fishing village of Kokkari mixes pebble beaches with waterfront tavernas, and day trips toward Kusadasi and Ephesus add an Anatolian twist to any stay.

Samos has two main ferry ports: Vathy, also known as Samos Town, on a deep bay in the northeast, and Karlovasi on the northwest coast. Ferries from Piraeus call several times a week, often routing via islands of the Cyclades, so check which port your sailing uses before booking accommodation. Both harbours sit right beside their towns, with ticket agencies and cafes nearby.
