With an area of 475 sq.km. and a population of some 35,000 inhabitants it is the largest of the north-eastern Aegean islands. The island’s large size, diverse geology and important geopolitical position have ensured that Samos offers its visitors diversity, a long and interesting history, and is easily accessible. Lying on the north-eastern edge of the Aegean sea, some 175 nautical miles from Athens, yet only a few kilometers off the shores of Asia Minor, Samos boasts 160 kilometers of coasts with long, pure-white sandy beaches and small fishing harbors, as well as many picturesque inland villages. The island’s two striking mountain ranges are linked by forest roads, offering breathtaking views of the Aegean through the pine forests. Karlovassi, only a short drive from Samos Estate, is a lively port with a number of traditional Greek tavernas and fish restaurants as well as shops, banks, and a medical center. Cafés line the old harbor where one can idle time away sipping an iced-coffee or an ouzo. Karlovassi nightlife is vibrant, especially in the summer season. The beach life is a big part of the local lifestyle, and can be best sampled at Potami beach, any time of the day.
