Day 1 | Departure from Kuşadası – Vathy Discovery
We meet at 07:30 at Kuşadası Port (Scala Nuova). After our passport procedures, we depart at 08:30 with a fast ferry and after an approximately 45-minute enjoyable sea journey, we arrive at Samos Island's central Vathy Port. On some dates, our guide may meet you at Samos Port to join the tour from there.
(Our passengers joining from Seferihisar will be welcomed by our guide at Samos port.)
We recommend our guests who will obtain a door visa to sit close to the door on the ferry to expedite their procedures.
Our hotel check-in time is at 15:00, but depending on availability, we can enter our rooms earlier.
In the afternoon, we meet at 16:00 at the point specified by our guide and begin to discover Vathy with our guide. During our approximately one and a half-hour walking tour, we start to explore Vathy. Throughout our pleasant walking tour, we receive information from our guide about the rich history of the island, cultural daily life, the lifestyle of the local people, charming cafes, delicious restaurants, and entertainment spots. As we progress through the narrow streets, we witness both the past and the present spirit of Samos up close.
During our walk, we see the only Catholic Church on the island, which is currently abandoned. With its silence and mystical atmosphere, this building becomes one of our special stops that illuminate the island's multicultural history.
Then we arrive at Aslanlı Square, which is considered the heart of the city and the oldest actively used town square in Samos. Here, we see both the lion statue, which is the symbol of the square, and explore the historical fabric surrounding it. The Municipality Building and Archaeology Museum located around the square are significant structures that bear important traces of the island's history during our visit.
In the last part of our tour, we complete our tour at the monument of Themistocles Sofoulis, regarded as one of the important figures of modern Greek history and the first President of Samos. At this meaningful point, we take souvenir photos and engrave the atmosphere of Vathy, intertwined with history and culture, in our memories.
During the remaining free time, you can sit in cafes with views of Vathy, take a walk along the beach, or enjoy the sea.
In the evening, one of the events that best reflects the spirit of the island awaits you. In our extra-organized Taverna Night program, we have fun in a delightful atmosphere accompanied by live Greek music. The menu offered for the night includes unlimited uzo and wine. Guests who wish can receive recommendations from our guide to continue the night entertainment in different venues.

Day 2 | Big Island Tour
After having breakfast at our hotel, we meet at 09:30 at the Port and set off to explore the island. During our tour, we first view the Vathy area panoramically to receive general information about the island's settlement.
Then we change our route to Kokari, one of the island's most photogenic spots. After our guide gives information while touring the area panoramically, free time is offered here. Guests can enjoy the turquoise sea, take a walk along the beach, or capture beautiful pictures with postcard views.
Our next stop is Pythagorion, known as the birthplace of the famous mathematician Pythagoras. In this area, charming with its historical texture and coastal atmosphere, we have our tour with our guide; we receive information about Samos Castle, Transfiguration Church, and the famous Blue Street. After a short walk in the port area, we stop for a photo break in front of the Pythagoras Monument.
Then we are offered free time for a pleasant meal break at popular restaurants by the sea. You will have the opportunity to try fresh seafood and the flavors of Greek cuisine.
On the way back, we have a short shopping break at Lidl, one of Europe's largest chain markets. Here, you can find both affordable products and local tastes.
