As a “gateway” to discover the islands of the North and East Aegean, he recommends Samo the travel platform flyedelweiss.com. Topping the list of “unconventional” destinations without hypertourism is the island of Pythagoras, followed by Fourni, Thymaina, Ikaria, Chios and Psara.
According to the international organization trusted by hundreds of thousands of Swiss travelers every month, “Samos is considered the greenest island in Greece. It is dotted with numerous springs and beautiful water oases. Samos is a paradise for nature lovers and those who dream of exotic beaches. Whether it is a visit to villages, historical monuments, mountainous landscapes and vineyards or a boat trip to beautiful bays, Samos creates indelible memories while you have to stay more than a week to explore the entire island.
Actions of local municipalities to promote the island
It is worth noting that the Municipalities of East and West Samos have launched a systematic effort to contact international media, EOT offices and tourism agencies in order to highlight known and unknown aspects of the destination in markets such as Greece, Scandinavia, Italy, German-speaking countries and elsewhere, with an emphasis on thematic forms of tourism.
“We enrich our narrative with unique experiential experiences. The changing natural landscapes, the gastronomy, the activities and the inseparable connection with antiquity shape a reality sought after by the modern tourist. Our goal is not only to open new markets, but also to entice travelers to visit us again and again because of the diversity of experiences and emotions that the destination creates,” notes the Vice Mayor of Tourism of Western Samos, Vangelis Marnezos.
Samos has the advantage of differentiating itself on the international and national tourist map. A multidimensional place that offers a range of alternative activities and journeys into nature, history and the world of flavors. We are promoting this exact combination in a number of markets abroad and in Greece, experiencing a warm response,” said the Mayor of Eastern Samos, Paris Papageorgiou
