Samos Holidays - Travel Guide

Picture Perfect - The Red Tiled Roofs of Samos

Samos holidays are a great opportunity to enjoy a sunny Greek island holiday. The island's capital Samos Town is a bustling tourist area, situated on a deep inlet. From the busy waterfront area the town rises up the slope of a hillside to where there are pretty pastel buildings with red-tiled roofs divided by narrow alleyways.

These meandering streets form the old part of the town known as Vathy. Canopied tavernas line the harbour area where the town comes to life in the evening. Head down to the harbour as the sun starts to set to enjoy the Samos holiday nightlife.
