The Temple of Hera and the Eupalinos Tunnel are well worth a visit too. Enjoy a wine-tasting at one of the island’s vineyards. Relax in the thermal baths in Samos Town.

Freshly caught fish and seafood feature on many menus. Sample a traditional mezze of appetisers or Greek salad and follow with the Greek favourites of mousakka or calamari with for dessert. Be sure to try the local wine with your meal - the Golden Samena in particular is excellent.
