Short walk to the main square. One of the nights I stayed was a Saturday and the main square has a band playing and traditional dancing. I left the Square at midnight while it was all still happening but the hotel is far enough away that you don’t hear anything. Hosts/staff are all nice, easy to talk to.

FAQs about hotels on Samos

The “Green Island”

Birthplace of the Greek mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras, Samos is an impressively green island with beautiful beaches, lush pine forests and traditional villages. Situated in the East Aegean Sea, right across the shores of Minor Asia, this unique island is renowned for its wine, olive oil and honey production.

Named after Pythagoras, the ancient fortified port of Pythagoreion was built on the ruins of the ancient city of Samos and is the birthplace of astronomer Aristarchus. Today, Pythagoreion is a popular tourist fishing town with picturesque whitewashed narrow streets and the oldest artificial harbor in the Mediterranean.

Located on the northern side of the island, the imposing town of Karlovasi is the second largest of the island. Home of the Mathematical Department of the Aegean University, Karlovasi is a popular student town with stunning churches and charming mansions.

Samos has a beach for everyone. The lovely pebbled beach of Kokkari has deep blue waters and is ideal for water sports lovers, while the long sandy beach of Psili Ammos is perfect for relaxation.

Rich in cultural and historic heritage, Samos has modern accommodation to enjoy an unforgettable stay. Booking.com offers a selection of hotels, apartments and guest houses for you to choose from.

    It is a lovely village with much character. Calm and relaxing feel to the place. Great choice of places to eat and a good range of shops. Prices for food and drinks was reasonable.We visited in September and it was busy but not overly. We hired a car and visited some other sites on Samos. Prices were fair Ferry from Kuşadası is direct so no taxi or transfer required.

    I stayed in Samos-Vathy because it was close to where I'd take the ferry to take me back home to Türkiye. Excellent and affordably food, friendly folks. I managed to rent a car from Hertz (a VW IQ3) and drove around a little bit. Be careful driving out there -- the roads can get narrow, and the scenery is too beautiful, so go slowly to enjoy it all.

    Beautiful little town. Cute streets, crystal clean water. Heaps of restaurants along the two sides of the ocean front. Definitely a great spot to stay. Kokkari beach is very long. It does get the wind so has a few waves. An easy 2km walk along footpath takes you to Lemonakaia and Tuamadou beaches which are calmer and beautiful.

    Plenty of shops and bars in the new town. The old town was completely unspoilt and it was lovely to wander around the very steep streets taking in all the wonderful views but be warned take trainers as some of the streets were slippy in sandals The bars restaurants and cafes in the port area were really charming and you could while away an hour or two here Beaches not brilliant although loungers comfortable and free but associated with a cafe Potami beach only a 20 minute walk around the headland and that was a lovely beach again free loungers at the cafes

    Small and peaceful village for those seeking for peace and relaxation. All the restaurants are near, you don't need the car unless you want to explore other villages and towns. Nice pebble beach with shallow water. Heraion was within walking distance from Ireon and is a must-see, if you are interested in history. From Heraion it wasn't too long way by foot to Pythagorion, about one hour walk (but after exploring Heraion and Pythagorion we came back to Ireon by taxi, which cost 13 euros). In Pythagorion you can find souvenirs and shops and it also has beautiful, authentic alleys. From Pythagorion you can take boat trips to other towns or Turkey. In Ireon there are just a few mini markets, a pharmacy etc. so if you want to buy clothes or souvenirs (other than postcards or something like that) you have to go to Pythagorion or somewhere else. Best restaurants: Akrogiali, Venetia and Cafe and Bar Idyli (the beach bar).

    In the south of Samos and in a windless location, there are always clean sea and beaches, cafes,you can get up early in the morning and go to Pithagorion, which is 5 minutes awayby car, and get delicious breakfasts and fresh fruit juices from the Thessaloniki pastry shop next to the Corner bar, and I recommend you POROS SEA SIDE CLUB to taste the delicious Greek cuisine while swimming in the sea, 10 minutes on foot.

    This feels like a boutique slightly upmarket place.

    This feels like a boutique slightly upmarket place. Very pretty and picturesque but crowded. People are friendly and helpful, though. The beaches are very small and totally full of umbrellas. Not very relaxing at all. But good links, busses, affordable taxis to main town and archaeological sites. Also a catamaran ferry service to other islands. Ikaria, for example, is doable as a day trip. Enjoy the buzz in Pythagora but find a relaxing beach elsewhere.
