We've compiled the best of the best in Samos Town - browse our top choices for the top things to see or do during your stay.
A tranquil setting on the outskirts of Samos Town comes with a refreshing pool and nice views of Vathi Bay and the mountains beyond. Quiet, peaceful and private, it is only a five-minute walk from the beach. A major renovation in 2021 has given a relaxed and calm atmosphere with a neutral decor and luxurious marble bathrooms. Lunch and dinner service in the covered Elea restaurant veranda is commendable, with fresh tastes of Samos.
On the edge of town by Gagou beach, all the rooms at the Samos Bay Hotel enjoy balcony views over the sea. Ask for one of the fresh and modern refurbished rooms, which make a great base for exploring the island or simply relaxing by the pretty pebbly cove. Sunsets are best taken from the summery restaurant balcony while the breakfast area serves island specialties among the regular offerings. Staff are very friendly and a good source of information about the best the island has to offer.
