About Samos

Samos is the closest Greek island to the Turkish coast and was one of the richest states of ancient Greece. It is the birthplace of the mathematician Pythagoras and the philosopher Epicurus, and its Heraion and the Tunnel of Eupalinos are UNESCO World Heritage sites. Today the island is known for its green mountains, sweet Muscat wine, quiet beaches and tavernas serving grilled fish and Greek mezes, an easy and memorable day abroad from Kuşadası.
