Greek Sun Holidays

Overview

With 100 miles of coastline, many beaches, craggy highlands, burbling brooks by traditional villages, picture-postcard seaside villages and ports and access to some of the most imposing ancient sites in the eastern Aegean, Samos can truly claim to offer something for everyone. With direct flights from London Gatwick and Manchester, these many delights can be reached in just under four hours. By the same token, the benefit of an international airport does mean that Samos is one of the more busy islands in our programme.

You will find Greek Sun's accommodation in four completely different areas of Samos, all with their own character and ambience. On the north coast, Kokkari is probably the most attractive coastal village on Samos. Three pebble beaches, a delightful waterfront lined with colourful cafes and tavernas and some of the best walking possibilities in the hilly hinterland make this area the first choice of many. 

The more sheltered Votsalakia on the south west coast loses the cosmopolitan village atmosphere of Kokkari but gains a superior sand/shingle beach that stretches for nearly 2 miles bestowing on it a more conventional, beach resort atmosphere complete with a good choice of tavernas, cafes, bars and shops.

Five miles to the west of Votsalakia, Limnionas, by contrast, is a very peaceful holiday location. The beach is, in our opinion, one of the best on Samos and there is little tourist development to spoil the wonderful scenery of Mount Kerkis, the lower slopes of which offer more wonderful walking opportunities. Dining is limited to 4 tavernas and the local mini-market provides most other holiday essentials.
