Situated in the eastern Aegean Sea near Turkey, the beautiful Greek resort island of Samos has been known for its rich collection of beaches, picturesque towns, stellar scenery and wonderfully warm weather.
My wife May and I had planned to come to this island three years ago, but ran out of time during our first visit to Greece. We visited Athens, Santorini and Crete.
Samos is a bit out of the way. We had to fly first to Athens before taking a 50-minute flight on Aegean Airlines to the island. A ferry from Athens would have taken eight hours.
