Beautiful landmarks, stunning beaches and a bustling nightlife – Pythagorio is the jewel in Samos’ tourism industry. Whether you want to just bask in the sun and swim in the crystal blue waters, explore historical sites or dance till the early hours of the evening, Pythagorio adheres to every type of visitor. Most choose to sample the endless beaches that decorate the coastline, perfect for whiling away a few hours underneath the Mediterranean sun. Many Greek towns have incredible beaches, but very few possess the cultural diversity of Pythagorio. The most highly regarded monastery lies in the Moni Spiliani & Cave, a beautiful building which showcases the religious history synonymous with the island. The Castle of Likourgos, Statue of Pythagoras and the Efpalinion Tunnel are typically top of the itinerary for visitors with a penchant for architecture. Most of the historical landmarks are found in the peaceful town centre; for a livelier holiday, the harbour is inundated with clubs, pubs and bars. Luxury yachts line the docks and young people populate the waterfront, it’s nearly impossible to be bored whilst at the famous harbour.
Most choose to travel around Pythagorio by foot, especially in the summer when the weather lends itself to a leisurely stroll. Alternatively, most resorts will supply taxis and transfers for guests.
Lipsi is a tiny Greek Island geographically located between Patmos and Leros, resting on the Aegean Sea. There are several routes departing from Lipsi Port, nearly all of them are fairly short and head to other nearby Greek Islands. Only those who are in need of a truly relaxing, tranquil holiday make their way over to the quiet beaches and crystal waters of Lipsi. The only activity that is required on the island is to climb the hiking trails that lead to some of the beaches, or board the small buses that transport passengers to the more secluded areas. The beaches may be slightly inconvenient to reach, yet there lies their charm; they are all largely untouched by tourism and offer a unique landscape that is unlike any other. The main town offers the usual selection of quaint cafes and souvenir shops, with the occasional hidden gem for keen shoppers. The traditional Greek restaurants generally serve fish fresh from the waters – a popular choice for anyone who enjoys seafood. Most of the restaurants and hotels are located in the town, yet they are within walking distance of all the main beaches, including the beautiful Platis Gialos Beach. Lipsi’s beauty lies in its small size; the island is entirely accessible by foot so tourists will have no problem getting around. Most locals or resort workers will be happy to point visitors in the direction of the port should they need assistance.
