A Guide to Samos

Samos, the birthplace of philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras, is lush and humid with mountains skirted by pine, sycamore and oak-forested hills. This beautiful island is situated just off the Turkish mainland, and you can easily reach Kusadasi in Turkey from this island, as there are 1-2 ships to and from the turkish port every day. Day trips are easy to arrange at the port.
