Hi -I am trying to book a ferry from Piraeus to Samos via the web, but no matter what site I use, I cannot find Samos under destination options. Is it known by any other name? Is it impossible to get there from Piraeus?

We are seeking an overnight ferry with quarters...

Thanks!

From which country are the tourists that go in Samos? Is it a destinations for youngs 25-30 years old?

What is the situation about the nightlife in Samos?

I trying to find a way of getting to Turkey from Samos. I know there are some ferries from May to October, but I need it for March. Is there any alternative? Do you think I could reach an agreement with a local owner of a boat to take me there? Is this common?

Thanks in advance

Hi Guys,

Ive checked with ferry companies and schedules aren't out as yet. But im going to be in Samos until the 24th of July 2008. I wanted to know how frequent ferries will be to Mykonos. People have suggested i wait but then i cant exactly go ahead and book my accomodation in mykonos. Any suggestions?

We're thinking of staying in Nas in June next year. Are there any supermarkets bars or restaurants or is it just a beach.

Hello all - Flying into Samos Sept 13 arrive 16:05 - ferry to Kusadasi leaves at 17:00.
Several questions- is it possible to get a taxi at Samos airport and make it to the ferry? Appears to be several sites to purchase ferry tickets but ISTA travel seems to be the major source? What is the cost and how long does it take to process out of Samos? Can not find a web site for ISTA. Can ferry tickets be purchased in advance?
Any advice or recommendations would be welcome.
Thanks

I'm going to Samos on Thursday, can't wait!!! Am I right in thinking that Samos has a music festival in Pagondas this bank holiday weekend? Which day(s) is it on?
Also is the weather likely to be sunshine/showers over the next week or so, I've seen some bad predictions on the internet lately.

I have already looked on the VT-Travelguide about Samos, but couldn't find an appropriate hotel or pension in Pythagorion.
Who knows a hidden gem (pension or small hotel) ??
If possible with website and/or email.

Can someone please give exact date of the wine festival held in Samos Town, I know its some time in August but which dates ????

Hi there

Does anyone rent out sailing dinghys on Samos? If so who, where and how much.

Any replies very much appreciated!

Hi! We need to get from Kusadasi in Izmir to either Mykonos or Athens in April this year. So far we have only been able to find a (rather expensive!) ferry that goes from Kusadasi to Samos. A couple of questions:

1) From Samos is there any ferry that we can take to get to Mykonos or Athens? So far none of the major ferry websites like http://www.ferries.gr/ and http://www.greekferries.gr/ seem to have such an option. In fact, how DOES one get out of Samos by ferry to any of the other major Greek islands? Is Samos being listed under another name on the websites?

2) Alternatively, is there any ferry that goes straight from Kusadasi to Mykonos or Athens (or any other major Greek island)?

Being able to book the tickets online or at least book in advance would be a great plus. Thanks in advance for the help! Really appreciated.

warm regards

Hello
Is there a gym in samos town?

We intend to stay in Samos and Patmos, starting mid May 2007.
We have to fly into Samos and to take a ferry (or hydrofoil) to Patmos.

Who can help with information about the schedules in May and where to find more information (website ??).

We are two women who have a flight to Samos in August but haven't booked any accommodation yet. We will probably spend the first two nights and last night in Samos but we would love to visit other islands too. Neither of us have been to Greece so would appreciate any information please. Would we have trouble getting accommodation on any of the Isands, we are not too fussy and don't want to spend much? Where should we go, is it safe, etc.
Any ideas would be great,
Thanks
Alison

leaving for Samos July 12 and looking for studio/apt. on the water. we enjoy pebbly coves and snorkling

The photo of the steep climb up to a Cave. Where is this ? It looks stunning.

Hi,
We have booked a holiday for july this year and are staying in Balos, we enjoy the quieter areas and are thinking of hiring a car to get out and about but are unsure if we should get a car from the airport and drive to Balos given that we have not been before and are unaware of the area or directions. So my questions are.

Would it be easy to get from the airport to Balos driving ourselves or should we get a taxi and any idea on prices and time to reach Balos.

Also if anyone knows where we could get more information about this area it would be great as it is off the beaten track a little we are finding it hard to get much info.

Any information anyone may have would be very much appriciated

Thanks x

Hi!
We did read from somewhere that the sea can be cold in Ireon beach...
So do you know/think is the water also cold in Pythagorion beach or in Potokaki beach? And why the water is cold in ireon beach?

But the water is clean + blue/azur in these (ireon + Potokaki + Pythagorion) beaches?

Hello everyone!

Has anyone been in Ireon village?
How is the village?
Is there any shops/grocery shops in the village?

How is the beach? Is it shallow/good to swim (not very deep suddenly/no big waves or currents)?

is there any scooter rentals in the Ireon village?
Is it easy to get to the Pythagorion?
Is the airport too close (is very noicy area since there are the airport so close)?

Hi,
I am thinking of booking a holiday in Pythagorion, but the travel brochure says that there may be some noise from the airport.
Is it really much of a problem? I can't imagine there would be that many flights.
Thanks,

Any good walks around Samos, especially the Pythagorion area?

Going to Samos 18 Aug 05, Any recommended things to do or see whilst we are there? Would appreciate any opinions on Anthis apartments & Pythagorion in general. Are there any especially good tavernas & cocktail bars that we should visit?
All comments gratefully received.

Hi!

I want to go from Samos to Mykonos and back anytime in august. I've visited some web pages with schedules but they are different in each page, some say that there is daily connection and another says that only three times a week. Can anyone living there or been there tell me the schedule for the direct connection between Samos and mykonos? Is it daily or just some days a week? And also between Mykonos and Samos. Thank you very much in advance

The Rough Guide to the Greek Islands says the best beaches on Samos are on the western part of the island, but looking at a map it looks like most of the west coast is not accessible by car as there don't appear to be any roads there. What are the best beaches on the island, where are they, and how do I get to them?

Hi too all and a happy new year.

Me and my wife Debbie, are going to Samos for 2 weeks in June and would like some advise were to stay. We won't be hireing a car and the beach is not a main priority for us ( only had one day on the beach in santorini last year) we like to get out and about useing local transport , the other thing is that we love Greek food. so looking at the holiday brochure, SAMOS TOWN at the HOTEL INO VILLAGE or SAMOS HOTEL in the town?? or stay in the resort of PYTHAGORION. At HYDRELE BEACH VILLAGE, KASTELLI HOTEL,

Does anyone know if there is a reasonable bus service fromKambos to any other part of Island , say to Pythagorian or Vathi
Thanks

Hey

My wife and I have now settled our plans - and hope to travel from Kusadasi (Turkey) via Samos thru some other greek islands, over to Athens. Two questions:

a) We will begin our travels on the 22 July 04, do we need to book ferry tickets before hand, or can we just rock up on the day and expect to get a berth?

b) If we need to pre book - then does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this? I have found a couple of websites that offer it, but only in combination with their choice of accomodations - and we on a tight budget so hoping to hostel it (or camp or pension).

Any suggestions well appreciated.

Cheers
Drew

My wife and I are looking for inexpensive accommodations on Samos for about 5-7 nights. We would like to be near a beach, but we don't to be right on it. We just want a clean, quiet place with a private toilet and shower and decent rates. I do not know which part of the island we'll be staying on, so any location is fine.
