\"Samos<\/p>\n

Two high mountain ranges stretch across the eighth largest island in Greece<\/strong>. On its northern slopes lie fertile plains and dense forests. In between, quaint mountain villages with traditional tavernas are tucked away, inviting you to take a break after an extended hike on Samos.<\/p>\n

#1 The lively coastal town of Kokkari<\/h2>\n

The village of 1,000 souls on the north coast of Samos is firmly in the hands of tourism. Unfortunately, we looked in vain for authentic Greek flair here. Even though Kokkari’s alleys are quite photogenic, the townscape is mainly adorned with souvenir shops, beach bars and tavernas, which cater to crowds of holidaymakers during the season.<\/p>\n
