Samos

The island of Hera and Pythagoras

This was the birthplace of the goddess Hera, wife of Zeus. of Aristarchus, the famous astrophysicist who first set out the theory of the rotation of the earth; and the great mathematician Pythagoras. You will find traces of their presence as you discover Samos, cool, clear waters, untouched mountain villages, delicious local food and wonderful sweet wine.
