If you dream of holidays by a deep blue sea, golden beaches and sun drenched white houses then the island of Samos will certainly captivate you. This lush green island with its many bays and astounding natural beauty is there for you to discover and enjoy, not least its sweet Muscat wine. Samos was also the home of the goddess Hera, Aesop's fables, the Greek astronomer Aristarchus, the philosopher Epicurus and the great mathematician Pythagoras. At the cross-roads between East and West it was host to many different civilisations throughout the centuries.
