    Some of my personal impressions from 8 days in May 2010 in the lovely village of Pythagorio on Samos island in Greece. Take your time for an approx. 20 minutes long experience strolling around the village and the harbour. All footage taken handheld (I'm a lazy guy!) Special thanks to my friend Jiannis Loulourgas. And to some nice romanian women introducing me to the dance music.

    A presentation of the greek island of Samos located in the east aegean close to the coast of Asia Minor. This "high speed" presentation is 11 minutes long and based on more than 300 photos I took during several stays on Samos during 2004-2008. The music that accompanies the presentation is sung and played by various groups/musicians living on Samos and Ikaria. Several of them I know personally. It reflects the lively nisiotika type of songs, the

  4. Samos 2008: approx. 7 minutes presentation with impressions of the beautiful greek & green island of Samos, located just a couple of kilometers away from the coast of Asia Minor in the eastern aegean. I took the photos for this presentation during several stays on Samos between 2004 and 2007. I used cameras and lenses from Nikon. Music comes from local musicians and is a "live" recording of Jiannis Loulourgas (luthier, bouzouki player and singer)

The channel "Experience Samos!" is intended to give you a multimedia experience with lots of impressions of the beautiful east aegean island of Samos in Greece.

This unique island, a green emerald in the blue aegean sea (greek & green!) is located just a few kilometers away from the coast of Asia Minor. It is loaded with natural beauties and archeological sites and - in contrast to many other greek islands - Samos is gifted with large water reservoirs, partly due to forests and high mountains.
In addition, Samos is famous e.g. for its wines and the mathematician/philosopher Pythagoras, who was born on Samos and lived there for many years.

Many different kinds of landscapes can be experienced on this island, e.g. large forests, deep valleys and canyons, herbs with incredible smells, unbelievable fresh and crystal clear water springs, brooks, cascades and even small waterfalls.
High mountains reaching up to 1150 meters (Karvounis, Ambelos) and 1443 meters (Vigla, Kerkis). With many caves and quarries.

Lots of beautiful beaches all around the island. Mostly with small pebbles, but some of them, especially in the south, are fine sanded, named psili ammos.

And many small villages, not only along the coast line. The more you get away from the coast, the more you will find the natural and rural life on Samos. Don't forget to visit one of the many panijiria during the summer season, the celebrations of the patron saints of the respective churches or chapels.

Besides the red, white and rosé Samos wines and the local Ouzo, try the Souma of Samos (in other places in Greece this spirit - containing about 40 % alcohol - is called Tsipouro!)
