Trip to Tsamadou beach
Beautiful beach near Kokkari
Just two kilometers west of the beautiful resort of Kokkari you will find two picturesque beaches – Lemonákia and a slightly larger and perhaps more beautiful Tsamadou.

Swimming on the most beautiful beach on the island of Samos

Trip to Potami beach
The beach with the most beautiful view
Potami Beach is one of the most famous bathing destinations in Samos.

Ascent to Pythagorean Cave
The most famous cave in Samos
At the eastern foot of the highest mountain in Samos – Kerkris you will find a surprisingly large cave in the rock wall.
