For us personally, Samos isn\u2019t a classic beach destination, but it is one of the greenest and most diverse islands in the Aegean. The island\u2019s dense pine forests stretch all the way to the sea, picturesquely framing many a bay. The water is crystal-clear almost everywhere, and most of Samos\u2019s beaches<\/strong> consist of gravel or small, round stones. Fine sandy beaches, on the other hand, can only be found in a few places, such as the beautiful Psili Ammos beaches in the west and east.<\/p>\n

The coastline on Samos varies greatly depending on the location. In the north, there are mainly pebble coves framed by lush vegetation, which are exposed to the strong Meltemi wind in the summer. The coves in the south of Samos<\/strong>, on the other hand, are more sheltered from the wind but can be very crowded depending on the location and time of year.<\/p>\n

We personally tested several beaches during our time on the island and present our 15 favorite swimming spots on Samos<\/strong> below:<\/p>\n

Samos Beaches in the North<\/h2>\n

The northern coast of Samos is the greenest part of the island and particularly popular with active vacationers. Magnificent mixed forests and vineyards stretch up the slopes of the Kerkis and Ambelos mountains. Below them lie pebble coves with emerald-green water.<\/p>\n

Around the popular resort town of Kokkari, one beach gem follows another: Tsamadou, Lemonakia, and Tsabou. Just the view from above makes you want to jump right into the sea. If you\u2019re looking for a quiet Samos resort right by the sea<\/strong>, you\u2019ll find what you\u2019re looking for in Avlakia or Agios Konstantinos. Both places have a small pebble beach.<\/p>\n

Heading northwest, near Karlovasi, the coast becomes wilder but no less beautiful. Here you\u2019ll find Potami Beach and the Seitani beaches. The latter are accessible only by hike or boat. In midsummer, the Meltemi wind often blows along the north coast, providing pleasant relief from the heat but also causing high waves.<\/p>\n
