Samos is a beautiful Greek island in the eastern Aegean Sea that perfectly blends stunning landscapes, rich history, and authentic Mediterranean culture. As the birthplace of mathematician Pythagoras and philosopher Epicurus, Samos features impressive archaeological sites including the UNESCO-listed Heraion, an ancient sanctuary dedicated to goddess Hera. Beach lovers will enjoy the crystal-clear waters at Tsamadou and Lemonakia beaches, while nature enthusiasts can hike through lush mountains or visit the Samos Wine Museum to taste the island's famous sweet Muscat wine. Every August, the island hosts the Samos Wine Festival, where you can enjoy local wines alongside traditional music and dance. From Samos, you can easily catch ferries to other Greek islands like Patmos, Ikaria, and Fourni, or make the short trip to Turkey's coastal city of Kuşadası, making it a great base for exploring both Greek islands and the Turkish mainland.
Lesbos, Greece's third largest island, blends stunning landscapes, rich history, and authentic Greek culture. This eastern Aegean gem features beautiful beaches with crystal-clear waters, mountains, and charming fishing villages that showcase traditional island life. Visitors can explore Molyvos' medieval castle, wander through the protected petrified forest, or relax in Eftalou's therapeutic hot springs. The capital city, Mytilene, shows off impressive neoclassical buildings and an ancient theater, while the island's olive groves make some of Greece's best olive oil. Every summer, Lesbos celebrates its traditions, music, and food through various cultural festivals. The island is a great starting point for ferry trips to other Greek islands like Chios and Lemnos, plus nearby Turkey, with regular boats to Ayvalık on the Turkish coast. Lesbos offers a genuine Greek island experience away from the more crowded tourist spots.
