Karlovassi Town.Karlovassi Town is the last of the major towns on the Island and serves the Western end of the Island. As for the others it has a good range of all types of shops and is a little more spread out than either Samos Town or Pythagorion. We tend to visit once every holiday to see how develoment is getting on it the eastern region of the Island. Welcome to the Pim Samos refurbished Website. Please enjoy your stay.Places of Interest.Samos TownPotami Beach.Potami and it’s Beach is the most North Westerly Beach on the Island and as you can see by the photgraph is one of the most attractive beaches on the Island. When you view the Potami Photo Gallery it will become apparent that a lot of the photographs are taken from a tiny but beautiful, well looked after church. The pictures and the churches decoration are also depicted. This beach is probably the last reachable bathing spot :Kerveli Bay.My wife and i must admit we are a little biased towards Kerveli. We consider ourselves to have been very lucky to have chosen Kerveli as our first place to stay on Samos Island in 1995. A beautiful Bay that is well visited by both tourists and local people alike. Located at the bay is one of the best restaurants / taverna’s on the Island ( Taverna Haravgi). The food and company are excellent. The beach itself is a fine to rough gravel beach - bathing shoes are to be recommended.Posidonio Bay.Once again this is one of our favourite spots, this is a most beatiful tranquil bay to be found in the South Eastern corner of the Island. As for many places a hire vehicle is a must if you want to see other locations. There are a few independant types of accommodation situated in Posidonio with the main provider being the Posidonio Bay Holiay Resort Complex with apartments,studios and maisonettes along with its : Potami BeachPythagorion TownPhototoFollowKerveli BayIreon.Ireon is a small fishing village on the South easterly coastline of Samos, it is also the last place to be reached by road with a normal vehicle on the Southerly route around the Island. After Ireon you have to then cut Inland because the coast and Terrain is only suitable to be driven by 4 wheel vehicles. Ireon seems to be well loved by the tourists who stay there with many returning time after time. We certainly call in for a visit or two each time we are on holiday in Samos.Psili Ammos.Psili Ammos has got to be in my mind the best beach on the whole Island. This long golden sandy beach leads so gently into the sea it is suitable for young and old alike. The Samos hills as one backdrop and the coast of Turkey as another not 1200 metres away (see photo Gallery) make for an ideal picturesque setting for a wonderful day on the beach. Well loved by all who visit there. Psili Ammos itself is to -Kokarri.Kokkari which lies on the Islands northern coast and the next location west of Samos Town. This well loved coastal place seems to me like the hub of tourism along with Pythagorion the younger generation seem to choose these two places for their higher degree of nighlife. Kokarri is also a very picturesque place with 2 parts to it. The eastern side seems to be sheltered and gives a calm impression, the western side ofPosidonio Bay

The shops range from clothing,food,souveniers to Cafe’s, Restaurants,Bars etc. The Town square is always popular with tourists both at breakfast time through to late evening. The Islands main port is also situated on the sea front with ferries leaving to varying destinations. Day excursions can also be made to mainland Turkey and the ancient site of Ephasus. The town is quite a metropolitan place for such a small Island and is well worth a visit or two during your holiday.
Pythagorio lies on the South Western caost of the Island and since we have been visiting a fine Marina has been built on its eastern outskirts.As for Samos Town, shops are in abundance with a varying range of goods sufficient to support you during your vacation on Samos Island.Once again this is a must to visit during your stay and has probably the best range of souveniers on the Island.
As you travel around that area you will notice that this used to be the main industrial hub of the Island. The town is situated at the eastern end of the rugged northern caostline of Samos. Situated nearby is Potami Beach (seperate point of interest). The town is slightly set back from the sea and the small harbour has a few Cafe’s / Restaurants and a couple of souvenier shops.To be honest our preference is the Eastern end of Samos Island - Make your own mind up!Photo Gallery to Follow
on the Northerly route around the Island. To get any further to the West you will definitely need a 4 wheel drive vehicle even then not for the faint hearted. Also in this vacinity is a waterfall which can only be reached on foot ( not what i know as a waterfall but still).All in all a beautiful spot with a stunning view. Worth it just for the photograph.
As far as tourism goes, the bay has one Hotel, a few independant villas, houses and Sunwave appartments. Both the Hotel & Sunwaves have fresh water swimming pools and offer either half or full board accommodation (to the best of our knowledge). If you decide to stay at Kervelli we strongly recommend a hire vehicle as for many of the locations on the Island (see links page). Also be aware this a very popular spot for local people especially at weekends. Ideal rest bite for walkers and some boat trips from Pythagorio can be enrolled for.
Restaurant, Cafe Bar and swimming pool makes a good place to stay. The public beach at Posidonio has toilet, changing and shower facilities provided by the resort, this beach is made up of fine gravel and slopes gently which makes it suitable for all bathers. Boats often visit the bay and are encouraged to do so as no mooring charges are in place. A Greek night is held every Friday evening throughout the Holiday season.Boat trips to the bay can also be booked at the Harbour in Pythagorion.
Ireon itself is a quiet self contained village with a small range of shops covering all needs and essentials to cover any holiday from toothpaste to souveniers. For a small place it has a good selection of eateries, Cafe’s,Restaurants and as for many beaches is of the gravel type and bathing shoes are recommended.I personally would always recommend if financially viable a hire vehicle of some sort unless like some you are a 100% sun worshiper and want a beach, bar type holiday.
be found to the far South East of the Island (see map) with Turkey right on it’s doorstep. The facilites are limited with refreshment and meal purchases possible, a main Car Park is available (be aware charges are raised). There are also some forms of accommodation available, but this you would have to research further.If you have children i think this is a must and maybe will give you a little time off or give you the opportunity to occupy them for a while.
Kokkari and it’s wind swept gravel beach always seems to be well visited. with it’s many souvenier shops, cafe’s, bars and restaurants you can see why it has a good night life. There appears to be a lot of varying types of accommodation in Kokarri which seems also to be reflected in many of the available travel broschures.If you are young and want that nightlife then go for it, there again if for you peace and quiet is paramount try Kerveli - Posidonio, only my opinion.
Samos Town.
Samos Town the capital city of Samos Island and is found to the Western end ot the

end of the Island. As for the others it has a good range of all types of shops and is a
little more spread out than either Samos Town or Pythagorion. We tend to visit once
every holiday to see how develoment is getting on it the eastern region of the Island.
