3. Samos
As one of the most visited islands of North-Eastern Aegean, Samos still holds its charm. Tropical seashores with turquoise waters, fertile valleys blessed with vegetation, evocative archaeological sites of UNESCO and traditional settlements climbing on mountain slopes create an atmosphere of nobility. Homeland of great scientists, seductress goddesses and eminent personalities of antiquity, this island is not to be missed!
The main port of Samos, Vathi, is a picturesque hilly settlement with neoclassical mansions, a lively waterfront and many facilities. Karlovassi, Samos’ capital, is a modern touristic town, whereas Pythagorio and Marathokambos are the island’s most traditional villages.
Unlike other popular Aegean islands, Samos has kept its lush landscape with verdant mountains and beautiful coastlines. It is also a major producer of high-quality wine. A visit to the island would not be complete without sampling its famous sweet wine!
The best way to explore Samos is by bike or on foot. Visitors should be in good health and able to walk reasonable distances, sometimes over unpaved or uneven surfaces. A good pair of comfortable walking shoes is recommended. This tour also involves a considerable amount of time spent aboard the ferry ship. Guests should be aware of this before booking. Guests should be prepared for changing weather conditions, especially during the summer season. In case of severe weather conditions, the itinerary may be modified.
4. The Cyclades
The most famous of all Greek island groups, the Cyclades are the Greece of travel posters – bare rocky islands crowned with brilliantly white cubistic villages soaring over wine-dark seas and fringed with terrific beaches. They can get crowded in high summer, but most visitors feel that the beauty of the islands is worth the crowds.
Our Cyclades itinerary combines the must-visit islands of the group with those that are a bit off the beaten path to allow you to discover the real beauty of this dazzling archipelago. With plenty of time for a leisurely pace of island hopping, you can enjoy heavenly beaches, authentic gastronomy, inspiring archaeological sites, and more.
From early spring through to autumn, the islanders of the Cyclades welcome visitors with mild temperatures and a sunny, breezy atmosphere. Visiting the islands by ferry in these months allows you to avoid both peak prices and scorching summer heat (the “meltemia” wind from the north is a relief and keeps things cool). The itinerary starts off on the island of Naxos, one of our favorite places in the Cyclades that offers something for everyone. From long, shallow beaches ideal for families with small children to steep hills featuring quaint mountain villages and local distilleries, Naxos is a great example of how tourism on the island mixes well with the traditions of the Greek culture.
