Samos
Samos, one of the most easterly Aegean islands just a stone's throw from the coast of Asia Minor, is renowned for its wines, particularly for the white muscat wine found nowhere else.

The capital, Vathi, is built on the verdant slopes that surround the island's deepest bay. Vathi has retained its individual appearance, with its attractive neoclassical houses, old mansions with pastel facades.

From Vathi, if you take the road heading south, your first stop will be Pithagorio (familiarly known as Tigani, 14 km.), a small, picturesque port occupying the site of the ancient capital.

To the right of the port the castle of Lycourgos Logothetis can be seen atop a hillock. This 19th century edifice most probably rests on the ruins of the former acropolis. Within its walls are two Roman colonnades as well as the remains of Early Christian churches.

Not far from Pithagorio is the archaeological site of the Heraion, with its sanctuary to Hera of Samos, one of the biggest of antiquity.

Karlovassi on the north coast of the island, is its second largest harbour, composed of three districts, Old, New and Middle Karlovassi. Here, too, you will find imposing neoclassical houses, reminders of earlier prosperous times, while 2 kilo metres away bathers will love the sandy beach of Potami, rimmed with luxuriant greenery.

The drive between Vathi and Karlovassi runs along the magical coastline, cutting through riotous vegetation and picturesque villages. Six kilometres south of Karlovassi, set in marvelous surroundings, is the village of Marathokambos, which acts as a "balcony" over the island's southern beaches and has both old churches and caves to explore.

Still further south is the tiny harbour of Ormos, good for fishing and swimming, while beyond it lies a string of lovely beaches - Votsalakia, Hrissi Amos, Ai Gianis Eleimonas.

Chios
South of Lesvos lies one of the most beautiful islands of the Aegean: Chios, where the green of the trees and the aquamarine of the sea are within kissing distance.

Here the verdant valleys embrace the pretty towns redolent with mastic from the countless chewing gum trees (actually mastic-trees).

Multi-coloured houses, fishing boats, and nets spread out in the old harbour.

Alpine scenery with rare beauty at Volissos, such as the Venetian fort and the historic monastery of Agios Georgios. Enchanting scenery just before Nea Moni.
