Samos Reiseführer Michael Müller Verlag

Massive hotel complexes are almost completely absent on Samos. Those looking for holiday hustle and animation should consider other destinations. However, for those who prefer a quieter atmosphere, this eastern Aegean island is just right. Samos is especially a dream in terms of landscape: lush plane tree forests and vineyards in the north, olive groves, extensive pine forests, and wide bays with many beautiful beaches in the south. There are also cultural delights to enjoy. The highlight is the Heraion, an ancient sanctuary with a large temple complex, which was listed among the wonders of the world by Herodotus. And for those who still want more, a ferry ride to nearby Turkey offers the chance to visit Ephesus, an absolute archaeological highlight. A detailed service section provides information on ferry schedules, prices, and other important details.
