The Aegean Islands region

Samos the Greek island in the eastern Aegean sea, just off the coast of Asia Minor, is exceptionally beautiful,with verdant mountains, sandy and pebbled beaches, clear blue sea and fertile plains. Here the muscadine grapes, from which the famous muscatel wine is made are cultivated. The civilization of the island, the birthplace of Pythagoras, the great philosopher and mathematician, as well as Aristarchos the Astronomer, reached its zenith in the 6th century B.C., when under the rule of the Tyrant Polycrates many public works(the aqueduct,outstanding harbour, temple) were built.

Today, many of these monuments, the sanctuary of Hera, Efpalinion Tunnel, remains of the Great Wall and others may be visited. In addition to the archaeological museums in Samos town and Pythagorio and the Paleontological Museum in Mitilini, monasteries like Spiliani, Megali Panagia and the Holly Cross are also open to visitors. All of these in addition to the warm, comfortable climate and traditional Samian hospitality, will ensure that you have an unforgetable holiday that you will soon want to repeat.
