Found on the glittering ultramarine coast that kisses the north-western edge of Samos, a roughly oval-shaped island deep in the Greek stretch of the North Aegean Sea, is the charming port-town of Karlovasi. Built in a wedge between a landscape of steep hills, the town is picture-perfect in its guise as an idyllic Mediterranean community. Traditional white-walled apartment blocks rise in anarchic tiers upon slopes coloured deep-green with Mediterranean pines, while a web of narrow lanes snake idly through the suburbs. The waterfront is lined by a sweeping promenade studded with alfresco restaurants and bars and canvas stalls selling local wares. Beyond them, in the warm shallows of the Aegean Sea, yachts and sailboats bob gently on their moorings. The port in Karlovasi is found at the north-eastern edge of town. It is a small site featuring a handful of piers that jut into a section of the sea sheltered by an arcing breakwater. Incoming ferries dock along the edge of the largest pier where facilities are limited to just a check-in booth and a short stay car-park. Travelling to and from the harbour can prove difficult. The island is hewn from rugged mountains that are split by just a few “main” roads, while most of the villages, Karlovasi included, are designed around a cramped network of streets more suited to pedestrians than cars. A few public buses travel between the towns and villages found nestled in the niches between the hills. Most services travel to the synonymous capital of Samos; this quaint, bay-side town sitting at the end of the number 62 highway which curves away from the heart of Karlovasi and traces the island’s rocky northern coastline east. A number of routes currently operate from the port in Karlovasi throughout the week. Services hosted by Hellenic Seaways sail to several of the islands that speckle the Aegean Sea; including Chios, Limnos and the port-city of Mytilene on the isle of Lesbos to the north; and Mykonos, Syros and the town of Evdilos on Ikaria in the west. A couple of other routes head to the city district of Piraeus and the town of Kavala further away on the Greek mainland.
Being the capital of the island, Agios Kirikos is a popular destination for tourists with a penchant for ancient architecture encompassed by verdant surroundings and azure blue water. The imposing mountainside accompanied by a quaint harbourside presents a heterogeneous look to the town, offering areas of particular beauty that are unrivalled by its neighbouring islands in terms of pure aesthetics. Few places belonging to Greece are as picturesque as the promenade bordering the port, looking up onto the mountains, surrounded by colourful foliage and just a stones throw away from the crisp Aegean Sea. A plethora of places to relax and bask in the sunshine are available all over Agios Kirikos, after all the town is drenched in inertia, and Faros Beach is arguably the apex of tranquillity. Even in the peak of summer, the soft sand remains largely untouched by tourism, so you’ll always be able to find a space for your towel and soak up the sunrays of the Mediterranean.
The town is very small so every amenity is within walking distance.
