Samos Island
Area: 476 km2
Of all the
Islands in the north east Aegean, Samos is the most popular
and it is not difficult to see why. Carpeted with thick pine
forests and wild flowers, many see Samos as a Greek
"Kent," the "garden of Greece." Situated
only 2 miles from the Turkish mainland, this rugged and
mountainous island has many beaches, burbling brooks by old
villages, picture-postcard seaside villages and ports and
access to some of the most imposing ancient monuments in the
eastern Aegean. You will find Greek Sun's accommodation in
four completely different areas of Samos, each with its own
character and ambience. On the north coast we offer holidays
in picturesque Kokkari and busy, bustling Samos Town. On the
south coast we feature tranquil Votsalakia and cosmopolitan
Pythagorion.
Sites on
Samos: Historic
sites on Samos include the Temple of Hera, the second largest
temple ever built in Greece and the extraordinary Elplinion
tunnel built by the chief engineer of ruler Polycrates
beginning in 524 BC. The tunnel over 900 m long was used
to bring water to the city of Pythagorio from the mountain
springs. Some parts of the tunnel are open to visitors.
There is
also a renowned Archaeology Museum in Samos with a fine
collection of artifacts and art objects. Other sites
include both Greek and Roman ruins, a Byzantine monastery and
old rustic villages. |
