Welcome to Samos! This beautiful Greek island in the eastern Aegean Sea is the birthplace of the philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras, after whom the Pythagorean Theorem is named. This is also where the philosopher Epicurus was born, as well as Aristarchus-the first known person to propose that the Earth revolves around the sun.

In ancient times, Samos was a rich and powerful city-state, known for its wine production and red pottery. The most famous building was the Heraion, a large sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Hera.

Discover the complex of green landscapes with the stunning beaches and turquoise waters as well as the sensational monuments. Taste and enjoy the islands’ delicacies and the famous local Muscat wine produced in Samos since the ancient times.
