Luxury holidays in Samos

When to go

The summer season gets going in May, when the evenings are still a little chilly but the days can be hot. Things wind down in the middle of October. July and August are the busiest months.

Getting there

• Planes

  The island has its own airport – there are direct flights run by certain travel companies during the summer, but most international flights will have to touch down in Athens and connect to a 40-minute domestic service.

• Automobiles

  A car will come in handy for exploring the island’s quiet beaches, pretty villages and classical sites of note – though many of the hotels are within walking distance to a town or stretch of shoreline.
