Full Day Island Tour Discover Samos
Overview
In this tour we will head north to the marvelous monastery of Megali Panagia (15th cent.), – an example of “Byzantine Greece”– to take a guided tour. We will then make a stop to the truly traditional mountain village of Pyrgos (famous for its honey and ceramics) for a short walk.
After visiting Pyrgos, there is an optional stop in the area of Koutsi – an ideal place to take panoramic photos, before continuing to our visit at a traditional wine factory, where we will get the chance to taste some of the famous Samian wines. There is no better way to see the best there is to see in the island of Samos.

My husband and I were so looking forward to our scheduled tour of Samos. Sadly it was cancelled the day before with no option for an alternative date. So, when we went to the local travel agencies we were told they were all booked up. I guess I won’t be so inclined to use this group in the future.
