What to expect

You know you're on holidays when you find yourself in sunshine with a balmy sea breeze washing over you. On this cruise, you'll explore the local waters off Samos' east coast, with stops at two of its most enticing beaches – Posidonio and Megali Lakka – as well as a beach barbecue.

Sailing from Pythagorio in the morning, you'll glide through the Mycale Strait, which separates Samos from Turkey. Pass by remote beaches and uninhabited islets – and with luck spot some dolphins. Your captain will drop anchor off Posidonio beach, and you can either swim onshore or hop on a dinghy. After an hour, we'll sail for the pine-fringed cove of Megali Lakka, which is accessible by our boat only.

Here, you'll be able to relax or swim while the crew rustles up a barbecue on the beach, washed down with juice. After about three hours, it's time to sail back to Pythagorio.

    Travelled as a couple


    Wir haben auf der fahrt keinerlei Informationen bekommen. Bei der Bucht angekommen wussten wir nicht wann es Essen gibt und wie lange der Aufenthalt ist. Der Weg vom Schiff zur Bucht war sehr schwierig. Das Essen nach ca drei Stunden war ungenießbar!!!!! Alles kalt, Fisch dünn und alt Kartoffelsalat über würzt und zu wenig. Ein BBQ am Strand hatte damit NICHTS zutuen. Das Essen wurde auf dem Schiff gemacht Keine Möglichkeit einer Toilette außer den sehr schwierigen Weg zurück zum Schiff.

    Transfer vom Hotel kam nicht, dann zu Fuß zum Anleger. Boot zu voll, kein Sitzplatz mehr. 2Std auf dem Boden gesessen bei voller Sonne. Dann Wettlauf um schattige Liegeplätze, hektisches Essen an engen Tischen und wieder Run um die wenigen guten Plätze an Bord. Danke für einen verschenkten Urlaubstag in toller Umgebung. Ist das Geld nicht wert und wenn ich nicht im Urlaub wäre würde ich mir eventuell rechtliche Schritte überlegen. Nächstes Mal werde ich statt Tui sicher eine Alternative wählen.

    Generell eine schöne Bootstour, jedoch mit einigen Abstrichen. Vor allem gibt es an Bord keinerlei Information zur Geologie, Vegetation oder Geschichte der Region. Man tappt hier also völlig im Dunklen und muss versuchen sich das mit Hilfe des Smartphones zu erarbeiten. Hier besteht also starkes Verbesserungspotential. Koordination und Information zum Essen (sehr spät, 15 Uhr) mangelhaft. Essen war mittelmäßig, Fleisch lauwarm. Es gibt deutlich bessere Touren rund um Samos, z.B. die mit Andreas

    Mir hat eigentlich alles an dem Boottrip gefallen. Der Fisch und der Kartoffelsalat waren sehr schmackhaft. Während der Bootsfaht gab es Honigmelone und Wassermelone. Auch ein kleiner Becher Wein rundete das Programm ab.

    Ich war mit dem Service, dem Transfer, dem Team sehr zufrieden. Sehr zuvorkommend und immer sofort am Start wenn man sie brauchte. Vor allem sehr freundlich. Eines hat mir jedoch gefehlt und zwar etwas Geschichte zu der Tour. Was mich auch überrascht hat welch leckeres Essen sie an Ort und Stelle uns bereitet haben. Dafür hat man das Team gar nicht gelobt. Was mir im Nachhinein sehr leid tut. Bei der Hitze musste das Team doch viel schleppen und herrichten. Sorry dafür und ein großes Lob.

Samos island tour with the Heraion sanctuary and Potami village

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.

Excursions & day trips

Samiopoula Trip

Holidays are about getting away from it all. And this morning cruise does just that. Cooling off in the waters of Samos's south coast, you'll also visit the remote island of Samiopoula – an isolated island with no inhabitants.Sailing out of Pythagorios' pretty port, you'll know you're on holiday when you feel the sun on your face and a warm sea breeze wash over you. Gliding through the Ireon village, you'll pass secluded beaches and rocky coves. Whilst being served fresh fruit and refreshments by the crew, you may even be lucky enough to spot a dolphin or two.Then, you'll relax and top up your tan until it's time to swim ashore at Samipoula. Spend time here exploring the island's unspoiled landscape, its lone church, or enjoying a dip in the Aegean. The water here is calm and clear, so expect to see plenty of fish. And cruising back to shore at a leisurely pace, you'll have time to catch a few more rays on deck.
