Samos is brimming with cultural and historic riches. And this tour whisks you to some of its best spots, including the Heraion. You’ll also visit a monastery and ceramic workshop and explore Potami. Samos is so magnetic that its pull has drawn Irene, one of our guides. She says, ‘As a third generation Greek born and raised in Australia, I came to Samos dreaming of archaeology. In just one day, you’ll discover as much of this beautiful island as possible – its history, religion, products and people.’
Hera was an important deity in ancient Greece. And, according to legend, she was born in the Heraion, a stone’s throw from the Aegean. We’ll kick off in the ruins of this sanctuary – now a UNESCO World Heritage Site – strolling along the Sacred Way to see the temple and other relics. Next, you’ll visit an Orthodox monastery before dropping by a ceramic workshop in Timos. It gives much-needed work to islanders. You’ll receive a Pythagoras cup as a souvenir of your visit.
Next up is a visit to an organic olive factory, where you’ll have the opportunity to learn about the production process and sample a variety of its natural health products. Then, it’s on to tiny Potami, a hidden gem where you’ll have some free time for lunch. This quaint locale boasts a lovely beach perfect for a leisurely swim in the sparkling waters. If you’re up for a bit of adventure, channel your inner Lara Croft and explore the nearby waterfall or the intriguing ruins of a Genoese castle.
