Best Hotels In Samos Greece: Where To Stay

 

Samos is one of the most beautiful, yet lesser-known among the Greek Islands. You should definitely consider it when planning a trip to Greece. In this post, I will show you some of the best hotels in Samos and where to stay on the island, since there are different areas catering to specific types of travelers.

With its turquoise beaches, green mountains, seaside restaurants, great hospitality, and a summer season that goes until late October/early November, Samos is one of those places that would normally attract hoards of tourists.

Surprisingly, it has a very laidback vibe and is perfect for those who are running away from the crowds of Mykonos or Santorini. Despite that, it more than deserves your visiting when hopping the Greek islands.

Located only 2 miles from the Turkish coast, during normal times it is also possible to go on a day trip to the neighboring country and enjoy places like Kusadasi or even historical gems like Ephes.

Having said that, there are tons of things to do in Samos to keep you busy. But without further ado, let me show you the best places to stay in Samos.
