A little more than six hours on the plane and here under the wing are already visible mountains, overgrown with shrubs, blue sea, white houses are samos, one of the most quiet and cozy among the Greek islands. Samos One of the most important points of the ferry message in the Aegean Sea and to the Turkish Kusadas "hand", but this is a fairly secluded place. A sharp mountainous and small, drive around on a rented car (for 20 euros per day) you can in a couple of days. And the go stands, because here the beautiful landscapes are in pine forests, jasmine fragrant and a huge amount of wildflowers. And on the slopes of the mountains you can find many villages that are built in the old manner - from the stone, there are many monasteries and churches here.
From any part of the island seen the sea. Samos coastline is long and bending, it rests on the church, built on the top of the cliff. Without a car on the island, it is generally difficult to move around, since it is not clear to us here in principle, therefore transport should always be ready if you want to go to some restaurant in the evening. How many times we are in Greece, do not get tired of admiring Greek cuisine. We particularly liked the very original dish, the local name is his dolmatakia. Dish - Hold your fingers! Prepared from a gentle minced meat of a lamb, wrapped in grape leaves. All these lumps are folded into a large cauldron and poured boiling water so that the meat does not darke and boil until readiness. Upon arrival home I will definitely prepare.
The hymns can be removed about the wine Greek at all, it is so diverse and so tasty that he has tried, could not decide on the variety.
The inhabitants of the island are not particularly spoiled by tourists, as in other resorts, they are always friendly smiling, in the first call seek you to help you.
Hotels on the island are a lot, there are among them and large fashionable hotels. We lived in such a five-star. The place is luxurious and fashionable, located near Pytagorio. There are both spa, pools, and restaurants, but the most remarkable is the beach. It is well equipped, wide with clean sand.
The island is very multifaceted - there is a place and entertainment lovers, and privacy lovers, and lovers of history. Since the story of the island itself is very rich. In addition, Ireon is located here - the architectural miracle of the world, the famous Pythagore mathematician was born here. And another Samos is the place of birth of the gee, Zeus's wife.
In short, everyone will be in this paradise "Welcome"! I believe that rest should be exactly what he is here in Greece!
