Attraction Description / Itinerary : Samos is a stunning Greek island in the eastern Aegean Sea, located south of Chios, north of Patmos and the Dodecanese, and just off the coast of Asia Minor, separated by the narrow 1.6-kilometre-wide Mycale Strait. As part of the North Aegean region, Samos is both a regional unit and a single municipality, offering visitors a rich blend of history, culture, and natural beauty.
In ancient times, Samos was one of the most powerful and prosperous city-states of the Greek world, a legacy still visible today. The island is home to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Pythagoreion and the Heraion of Samos, including the remarkable Eupalinian aqueduct—an extraordinary feat of ancient engineering.
Samos is also the birthplace of legendary minds such as the mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras, the philosopher Epicurus, and the astronomer Aristarchus of Samos, who was the first known thinker to propose that the Earth revolves around the sun. Famous since antiquity, Samian wine continues to be produced on the island, offering visitors a taste of history in every glass.
With its close proximity to Turkey, deep cultural heritage, and unique historical landmarks, Samos is an ideal destination for travelers seeking both relaxation and discovery. Please remember to have your passport!
