Samos is an island on the eastern Aegean Sea full of history and tradition. It is located only a mile from the coast of Asia Minor, where Greek Civilization developed and the Ionian culture flourished. The island's capital is the City of Samos with its Archaeological Museum.

The position of the island played a critical role as it proved to be a connection between the east and the west. Samos Island is the birthplace of Pythagoras, the ancient mathematician and of Epicurus, the ancient philosopher. Also, it is said that Hera, the wife of Zeus of the pantheon of Greek gods was born there (Temple of Hera). Another site to visit is the Eupalinion tunnel dating to 550BC.

A number of seaside communities and villages make up the island's 30,000 residents. The majority of these communities are small and its inhabitants experience everyday living in a traditional manner. Many residents are involved in fishing and agriculture, even though in recent years, the tourism industry has emerged as a primary means of economic subsistence.

Today Samos is one of the most hospitable and most beautiful places in Greece. Cheerful, friendly, and warm-hearted, the Samians live a traditional lifestyle in small villages and seaside communities that has become accustomed to the messages of modern times.
