Samos Island

The charm and beauty of Samos are visible at the first sight

Just 2 kilometres separate the coast of Samos from the Anatolian mainland.This island with the area of 476 square kilometres attracts many visitors by the beauty of its landscapes with fertile ground, dense pine forests, small waterfalls and narrow long bays with crystal-clear water. Samos was first inhabited around 3000 B.C. In the ancient times, the island was an important trading centre and therefore of great importance for shipping. Besides, the island wad famous for its red polished ceramics, which were even imitated by the Romans. Nowadays, Samos is proud of numerous ruins of the ancient architecture. Thanks to the Meltemi wind, blowing from the north-eastern direction, the hot summer months can be easily endured here.
