Samos

Samos is the closest Greek island to Turkey — just 2 kilometres separates it from Kuşadası — and the birthplace of the mathematician Pythagoras and the philosopher Epicurus. The island holds three UNESCO sites in one small area: the Heraion temple, the ancient harbour of Pythagoreio, and the Eupalinian aqueduct — a 1,036-metre tunnel hand-dug through a mountain in the 6th century BC, still walkable today. The coast offers anchorages at Pythagoreio, Kokkari, and the pebble beach of Tsamadou. The island's hilly interior produces some of Greece's best muscat dessert wine. Season runs May through October.
