7173 Greece 2016 Samos 27-37 25/11/2015 12:52 Page 27 Greece North Aegean Islands Samos Samos Samos offers such variety that everyone should be able to find what they want from a holiday here. With some 160 kms of coastline and a rugged mountainous interior to explore, you will encounter magnificent scenery, traditional inland villages, small fishing hamlets, established seaside resorts and many fine beaches. Of course, with attractions like these, and an international airport to Karlovasi boot, Samos receives its fair share of visitors. But tourism here is aimed towards the upper end of the market 1437m Votsalakia Ormos and, besides, being about 50 miles long the island is Limnionas large enough to absorb its summer influx. north and west attract many walkers in early and late season. Springtime and early summer see carpets of wild flowers. Pine-forests clad the lower mountain slopes the highest peak being Kerkis in the west at 1437m and tracks link village to village. Gentler walking can be found through the olive groves and vineyards lower down. Ag. Konstantinos Kokkari SAMOS TOWN Kerveli Psili Ammos Pythagorion easy island to explore. Sea excursions include guided day trips to famous Ephesus in Turkey, the historic island of Patmos and a boat trip BBQ, all operating out of Pythagorion (transfers from other resorts can be provided). Wherever you go you will find good beaches. y range from peaceful little pebble bays, with few people and one taverna, to longer stretches of sand or shingle with water sports and sunbeds for hire. Those on the north-east coast, picturesquely backed by cliff and pine, are popular and feature on all the postcards; those in the south are more sheltered and sandy towards the west. In common with all Aegean islands, Samos can be windy in the high summer months. Samos has a fair amount of history of its own, as evidenced by remains in the environs of Pythagorion (which is itself named after the island s most famous son, Pythagoras). most impressive of these are the ancient Temple of Hera and Evpalinus Tunnel, both dating from the 6th century BC. former was a very important sanctuary indeed vast but never actually completed; the latter an aqueduct over 1000m long bored through the mountain rock an amazing feat of engineering. Samos has a good bus service, especially along the north coast from/to Samos Town (aka Vathy), and the roads are also generally in good condition, making it an Finally Samos is known for its wine (the Golden Samena in particular is excellent). Perhaps that s why the temple remains still unfinished! SAMOS INFORMATION Getting to Samos Thursday Day flight Gatwick to Samos (note: inbound flight via Lemnos). n 30-90 mins. by taxi or coach (see resort descriptions). For flight details see page 253. Multi-Centre Options Samos with Ikaria, Patmos or Kusadasi in Turkey please see relevant resort pages for important transfer info.

7173 Greece 2016 Samos 27-37 25/11/2015 12:53 Page 28 Greece North Aegean Islands Samos Our chosen areas North Samos Kokkari South East Samos & Aghios Konstantinos Pythagorion & Kerveli Transfer time 40 minutes & 1 hour Kokkari is the prettiest seaside village on Samos. With its three good beaches, long colourful waterfront and picturesque fishing harbour, all overlooked by the characterful old village above, Kokkari is an ever-popular choice amongst all ages and nationalities. Although Kokkari has largely retained its village character it also enjoys quite a cosmopolitan atmosphere especially in the evenings when people come to stroll, sit at a waterside café, and later dine. re is a wealth of eating places to choose from, ranging from traditional taverna to upmarket bistro, and some nightlife. Kokkari also has a couple of internet cafés. main pebble beach stretches for half a mile. Around the corner are two pretty shingle bays; the further sheltered from the frequent prevailing wind by an attractive rocky headland. A string of Samos most famous beaches begins only a 20 minute walk to the west with Lemonakia. A good bus service links Kokkari with Samos Town 10 kms away and Karlovassi in the other direction. All excursions pick-up from the village, mountain bikes can be rented, there is a windsurf school, and the mountains behind offer fine walking opportunities. Aghios Konstantinos, a 20 minute drive beyond Kokkari, is typically Greek. Its stone buildings stretch for nearly a kilometre along the seafront, which has some half-dozen very traditional tavernas, a few local shops, a handsome central church and a small harbour to one end. Although there is a small pebble beach it is not very swimmable - much better ones can be found a short drive or bus ride to the east, starting with Kambos (5 minutes by bus or a 40 minute walk. But the greatest appeal of this area is for walkers and country-lovers. village is at the foot of lush Nightingale Valley ( Aidonia ), one of the most beautiful areas of Samos. A walk up the steep, thickly-forested valley to the pretty village of Manolates, with its welcoming tavernas and panoramic views, is a must, and serious walkers can go on from here. Aghios Konstantinos 28 Sunvil 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk Transfer time 10-30 minutes Named after the island s most famous son, the ancient mathematician Pythagoras, Pythagorion is Samos s biggest settlement on the south coast (although there is not much competition!). Boasting a handsome semi-circular harbour has a wide promenade lined with plenty of cafes and restaurants from which to enjoy the comings and goings. Pythagorion is in fact a UNESCO World Heritage site. island s tyrant ruler, Polykrates, had his capital here in the 6th century BC, and evidence of his original harbour walls can still be seen. re are the remains of Roman Baths to the west and the castle above the harbour dates from the 19th century. remarkable feat of ancient engineering that is Evpalinas Tunnel, in the hills above, was made to ensure the water supply in times of siege and was bored for over 1000 metres through the mountain in 550 BC. Even older (8BC) is the Temple of Hera some 5 kms to the west. Behind the harbour, narrow lanes and cobbled streets add to the characterful small town atmosphere. where you are taken to ancient Ephesus; and to Patmos for the day. town has a small but perfectly serviceable sandy beach just past the harbour, and to the west is the very long, clean sand/pebble beach which has sunbeds and umbrellas for hire, and seasonal watersports. Between Pythagorion and Samos Town, peaceful Kerveli is a completely relaxing little seaside spot on the undeveloped east coast of the island. Kerveli looks towards Turkey, and claims to be the first spot the sun s rays strike in Greece each morning! Whether true or not, it is undoubtedly one of the loveliest and most sheltered bays on Samos, accessed only via a narrow road that winds down through beautiful wooded countryside and olive groves. A pair of excellent, friendly tavernas (one of which stocks basic provisions), a sprinkling of villas/apartments and one hotel, a shingle beach with tamarisk for shade and a turquoise sea, all against a backdrop of thickly wooded hills. countryside around Kerveli is wonderful for walkers, although for self-caterers car hire is recommended as there is no public bus (Kerveli Village Hotel guests can make use of the hotel courtesy bus to and from Samos Town). Boat trips run to local beaches and include a picnic lunch; to Kusadasi in Turkey, from Tsamadou beach near Kokkari Kerveli Kokkari Pythagorion

Ormos South West Samos Ormos & Votsalakia Transfer time 45-60 minutes peaceful south-western corner of Samos contains some of the island s finest beaches and scenery. Ormos is a delight a small traditional fishing village built around a working harbour, with a line of cafés and tavernas strung along the waterfront, a selection of useful local shops, a handful of apartments and just one hotel. Just past the harbour is the small sand/shingle village beach with sun beds and umbrellas, and a longer 'wild' beach starts just beyond. Regular visitors will be pleased to know that new marina/harbour has been completed. Ormos is a delightfully authentic and friendly little spot and the village provides everything you should need for a relaxed holiday in very 'Greek' surroundings. A mile to the west over the headland, and easily walkable from Ormos, Votsalakia (sometimes called Kambos) also offers a quieter holiday but with the facilities of a small resort. Votsalakia spreads itself along its very long, fine beach and has a good choice of restaurants, café-bars (including an internet café) and small shops. Cars and bicycles can be rented. main sand/pebble beach is one of the longest on Samos nearly two miles with sun beds available, and offers good swimming in a very clean sea. For both Ormos and Votsalakia car hire is recommended for further exploration as excursions and the once-daily early morning bus service are very limited. If you have a car for a few days you can also drive to Pythagorion for a day trip to Ephesus and Turkey. South West Samos near Votsalakia 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk Greece & Cyprus 29

Hotel Facilities include Wifi in the reception area (local charge 2-3 per day), a scuba diving school, tennis court, mountain bike hire, a children s play area and a courtesy bus to Samos Town three times daily (except Sundays). pool is of a good size. mature gardens are beautiful, and there are plenty of places from which to sit in sunshine or shade and admire the views. Breakfast, bar lunches and buffet evening meals can be taken either in the restaurant or on the pool terrace overlooking the sea. Two good local tavernas can be found within a 5-10 minute walk. Rooms are tastefully furnished and have air conditioning available in the afternoons and evening during hotter periods (usually mid-june to mid-september).

Beach towels cost 1 per day. Superior sea view rooms have the best views and guests here have free Wifi, safety deposit box, fridge and beach towels. Due to the hillside location and steps we would not recommend a stay here to anyone with mobility problems. Half Board: supplement 35 per week Reductions apply if booked by 30/4.

Hotel: 3 Star plus Bed & Breakfast or Half Board WiFi View from Hera II Hera II Pythagorion This pretty little Pension is on the hill above Pythagorion harbour and has fantastic views.

Ours have picture postcard views over the harbour, village and sea to Turkey from their small front balcony. same panoramic views are to be had from the ground floor terrace where breakfast is taken or you can bring a drink from your room. harbour is a 10 minute walk away via the road down the hill, or the fit can take a short cut via many steps which come out close to the town beach. Of course the location would make a stay here unsuited to anyone with mobility difficulties. charming owners will do their best to help you get the most of your stay here. But it is the views which will linger longest in your memory. : available at a local charge of 5 per day.
