Samos, Greece is perfect for holidaymakers of all ages

2019-02-26 | Holiday

Samos is a fantastic holiday destination for visitors of any age. Its unspoilt beaches, ancient sites and rural villages provide a unique view of typical Greek lifestyles. If you’ve never been to Samos before some potential highlights of any visit are discussed below.

Food and drink

Samos offers holidaymakers a relaxing lifestyle, with plenty of opportunities to sample the local Vathy wine, traditional yoghurts and cheeses. If you enjoy sampling local dishes, you’re sure to appreciate some of the seafood menus offered in local tavernas and restaurants, but don’t neglect trying out the delicious local moussaka and stuffed tomato dishes either.

Things to do

Active holidaymakers will find hiking around Samos offers a unique glimpse of this gloriously mountainous island. The island is swathed in greenery at any time of year and walkers will appreciate the varying landscapes of the imposing mountains and the opportunity to learn more about the natural habitat. Walking from Votsalakia in Marathocampus takes hikers along the peak of Mount Kerkis to the peak of Mount Vigla and there are plenty of opportunities to examine species of rare plant and native birds of prey.

Greek history lovers will really enjoy exploring the church of Panagia Sarandaskaliotissa, which is situated at the entrance to Pythagoras’ Cave, and was the mathematician’s refuge at the time he was persecuted by the tyrant Polycrates.

Beach lovers will discover the fine sandy beaches of Samos are superb for relaxation, with the azure ocean glimmering in sunlight and a spectacular mountainous backdrop.

Cyclists discover Samos offers a variety of opportunities for mountain biking. The sport is becoming increasingly popular with tourists and locals, so a variety of local trails make it easy to explore the island by bike.

Birdwatchers will adore the fact that visits to Samos offer opportunities to watch herons, Dalmatian pelicans and pink flamingos as they pursue their migrations.

Halcyon Developments offer Samos holiday homes to discerning buyers, looking for exclusive properties with ocean views and an on-site marina. All our holiday homes are constructed to exceptional standards and also available on fractional ownership terms, if preferred. Get in touch to find out more.

"Nous venons de finaliser notre achat avec Halcyon et je dois dire que cela n'aurait pas été possible sans le professionalisme et la qualité de service de leur service commercial. Le fait d'avoir à faire qu'à un seul et même contact du début à la fin a été un gros plus pour nous. Notre contact, Serkan, a su répondre à toutes nos questions, incertitudes et a su faire preuve d'extrème flexibilté dans le choix du produit final. Il n'a jamais essayé de nous mettre la pression et a été très compréhensif."
