Tours & Activities in Samos

Patmos ‑ a significant connection with the Byzantine Period and whose Christianity has still strongly preserved the Byzantine presence by the monastery and churches. Here, in a cave, St. John wrote the masterpiece of “Apocalypse” ‑ one of the most magnificent texts of world literature. The harbour town of Skala is dominated by the mighty monastery of the 'Theologian', built in the 11th cent., with its priceless religious relics, rare manuscripts, icons, jewellery, embroidery and its wealthy library constituted it as one of the richest monasteries within Christianity. The narrow lanes with the typical white painted houses, the innumerable taverns and the medieval town of Hora with splendid architectural patterns, the people's lifestyle and hospitality ‑ all this creates for you an unforgettable stay on Patmos.

You can travel to the land of mosques and minarets, immerse yourselves in the colourful fragrant world of bazaars, enjoy the native specialities or visit the ‘witnesses’ of Pre‑Christian past, e.g. the famous archaeological site of Ephesus, the most significant monument of antiquity and the largest Greek Roman excavations in the Mediterranean Area (excellent guiding). Before returning to Samos you still have time at leisure in the small harbour town of Kusadasi, which ‑ in spite of its increasing tourism has still preserved its oriental character with coffee‑houses, small bazaars and Turkish baths ‘Hamams’. A truly unforgettable day!  

It takes something special for one small island to stand out among the thousands in Greece – but it's an accolade that Patmos well deserves. Discover the charms of this islet to the south of Samos with this full day trip. Once you land, you have the day to yourself – find a nice beach or explore by foot.

You know you're on holidays when you find yourself in sunshine with a balmy sea breeze washing over you. On this cruise, you'll explore the local waters off Samos' east coast, with stops at two of its most enticing beaches – Posidonio and Megali Lakka – as well as a beach barbecue.Sailing from Pythagorio in the morning, you'll glide through the Mycale Strait, which separates Samos from Turkey. Pass by remote beaches and uninhabited islets – and with luck spot some dolphins. Your captain will drop anchor off Posidonio beach, and you can either swim onshore or hop on a dinghy. After an hour, we'll sail for the pine-fringed cove of Megali Lakka, which is accessible by our boat only.Here, you'll be able to relax or swim while the crew rustles up a barbecue on the beach, washed down with juice. After about three hours, it's time to sail back to Pythagorio.

Kasonisi is a small rocky islet separated from Samos by a narrow strait. The real attraction is the small strait with its isolated location and turquoise water. The strait is less than 50 meters wide and with less than 1 meter depth at the most shallow part. We start by boarding on the boat in Pythagorion harbor to go along the east coast. The first stop is at Kassonisi. Here we jump in the water directly from the boat. Then we continue towards the beach of Posidonion. Here you can choose to either swim directly from the boat or sunbathe and swim from the beach.

The placid and azure waters off southwest Samos offer some of the best boating conditions in the entire Aegean. Glide through the sparkling sea as you head to the tiny island of Samiopoula.
