As you will see by the three photographs above the Hogben family have been regular visitors to the blissful Island of Samos since the year 1995 or there abouts. This beautiful small ,but well vegetated Greek Island is to be found in the Aegean sea with Turkey at it’s nearest point approximately one kilometre away. The hospitality of the local Samians is second to none and their love of children and attitude towards them has to be seen to be believed. The small Island of Samos can be travelled East to West in around 3 hours making any daytime excursion easily achievable.Unless you are intending on partaking in a walking holiday then a vehicle of some sort is definitely a must. Roads are narrow and in places very bumpy, if you intend off roading then take a suitable 4 wheel drive vehicle (Jeep). our opinion is that the best areas of the Island are to be found in the Western half of the Island, Kerveli & Posidonio being particular favourites of ours.I will try and cover most aspects to give you some idea as to what you can expect when visiting Samos.Welcome to the Pim Samos refurbished Website.

Accommodation varies on the Island the same as anywhere else, just board, half board, full board, all inclusive. Hotels, apartments maisonettes and so on.Beaches can also differ, full sand, fine gravel and rough gravel - the one thing i have never seen is a dirty beach. Shopping facilities have also improved over recent years with a Lidl supermarket being introduced on the Island, there is also a Bizzar supermarket as well both can be found in the vacinity of the main road from Samos Town - Pythagorio ( see map page). The three main towns on the Island are Samos Town, Pythagorion and Karlovassi which all have decent amount of shops to cover all needs and the obligatory souveniers.On the medical side for day to day requirements there are plenty of chemists in all towns. There are two Hospital Facilities one being in Samos Town & the other at Karlovassi (see medical section).All in all as you can gather we as a family love this Island and always return year after year.Pay particular attention to the amount of tourists (or not) that you see in the on site photograph Albums, it amazes me that this tranquil but very attractive Island is not over run ! Don’t get me wrong this is why we always return.Please enjoy your visit and if you have any questions please e -mail me at the on site contact address on the contact page - Thank you.
