Description
This island tour is a fascinating excursion, which covers all the main sites in Samos. An island of legend and beauty, the birthplace of Pythagoras, and home of the beautiful goddess Hera. Samos stands apart from the islands of the blue Aegean for its unique majesty, cultural traditions, and picturesque charm.
Enter the Hera Temple and enjoy a tour around the sacred and ancient site, before visiting the Monastery of Timios Stavros or Megali Panagia with your guide. Stop in Koumaradei at a pottery shop to watch a small demonstration on ceramics, and receive a cup as a present. Have lunch in the Potami area (not included in the rate), and get tips on how to visit the waterfalls.
Take a short trip to an oil-producing factory. Stop in a winery outside the village of Kondeika to learn the secrets of Samos wine culture and have a small wine tasting at the end.
