Day 2 | Vathy Exploration – Taverna Night
After breakfast at our hotel, we meet at 16:00 at the point specified by our guide and begin exploring Vathy with our guide. During our approximately one-and-a-half-hour walking tour, we start discovering Vathy. Throughout this enjoyable walk, we learn from our guide about the island's rich history, daily life culture, local lifestyle, charming cafes, delicious restaurants, and entertainment spots. As we move through narrow streets, we witness up close both the past and the present spirit of Samos.
During our walk, we see the only Catholic Church on the island, which is currently abandoned. This structure, notable for its silence and mystical atmosphere, becomes one of our special stops shedding light on the island's multicultural past.
Next, we reach Lion Square (Aslanlı Meydan), considered the heart of the city and Samos' oldest and still active town square. Here, we see the lion statue that symbolizes the square and explore the historic fabric around it. The Town Hall and Archaeological Museum located around the square are included in our tour as structures carrying significant traces of the island's history.
In the final part of our tour, we complete our journey at the monument of Themistoklis Sofoulis, an important figure in modern Greek history and known as the first President of Samos. At this meaningful spot, we take souvenir photos and imprint Vathy's atmosphere intertwined with history and culture in our memories.
During your remaining free time, you can sit at cafes with Vathy views, take a walk along the coast, or enjoy the sea.
In the evening, one of the events that best reflects the soul of the island awaits you. In our extra-organized Taverna Night program, we enjoy ourselves in a pleasant atmosphere accompanied by live Greek music. Unlimited ouzo and wine are included in the menu served during the night. Guests wishing to continue the night's entertainment at other venues can get recommendations from our guide.

Our next stop is Pythagorion, known as the birthplace of the famous mathematician Pythagoras. In this enchanting area with its historic fabric and seaside atmosphere, we conduct our tour with our guide; we learn about Samos Castle, the Transfiguration Church, and the famous Blue Street. After a short walk in the port area, we take a photo break in front of the Pythagoras Monument.
Next, free time is offered for a pleasant meal break at some of the region's most popular seaside restaurants. You have the opportunity to try fresh seafood and the flavors of Greek cuisine.
