Samos, the 'Green Aegean Island', is a land of pine-clad mountains, rolling olive groves, vineyards and picturesque bays. Holidays in Samos are not complete without a visit to its capital. Situated on the northeast coast of the island, Samos Town is an interesting fusion of old and new. The picturesque old town, bustling bazaar, pretty harbour and traditional Greek tavernas are juxtaposed against the popular pebbled beach, lively music bars and discos. Samos is particularly popular with keen hikers who come to explore the rich and varied scenery.

Holidays in Samos often feature the popular resort of Kokkari. Set around a pretty bay, Kokkari offers a series of beaches backed by forested hills. Kokkari beaches offer a good choice of water sports and are lined by family-run tavernas. In the evenings Kokkari has a selection of lively bars and clubs popular with the young crowd. Those looking for traditional Greek charm can drive into the surrounding mountains to explore the traditional hillside villages.

Holidays in Samos often centre round the former fishing villages of Pythagorion and Ireon. Pythagorion, the birthplace of Pythagoras, is the busiest tourist resort on the island. It offers a popular sandy beach, busy street cafes, a harbour front promenade, a good selection of shops, lively bars and fine restaurants serving locally caught seafood. The resort of Ireon features a choice of long beaches and hidden coves offering a wealth of water sports and boat rides. Popular nearby excursions include trips to the Temple of Hera and the Efpalino Tunnel.
