Samos island tour from the west with wine-tasting

4.4/5
69 reviews

Samos is proof that it's the little things that count, and this Greek island has them all – beauty, crafts, history and quality local produce. This full day island tour lets you experience it all in just one trip. Highlights include the Temple of Hera and the village of Pythagorio, as well as visits to olive and wine factories.

You'll ease into the day with a visit to a traditional olive oil factory to see how it is made, followed by a ceramics workshop, run by the artist Timo. Then, you'll meet your local guide at an Orthodox monastery and move on to discover the Temple of Hera, one of the largest temples in Ancient Greece.

Now you've earned a quick break, and the picturesque village of Pythagorio is just the place for it. You'll have some free time here to grab lunch before ending the day with a visit to a nearby wine factory for a tasting of the locally-produced vino.

    Very friendly and informative guide Sullivan. We got to see a lot of the island and saw olive oil presses & tasting, pottery making, monastery, archeological site and finished with wine tasting. A lot in once sat but was worth every penny.

    The whole trip was a joy. From the guides on the coach to the excellent guides at the venues. Friendly but very informative. Our coach driver was very good. Given that the route we took involved many tight corners and small villages he did a marvellous job. We enjoyed every bit of it. For us the Monastery and the pottery were the highlights of the tour.

    T/m Pythagorion een leuke excursie. Dat je daarna één uur moeten rijden naar de andere kant van het eiland voor 3 x twee kleine slokjes wijn viel ons (en meerdere mensen in de bus) tegen. Goede gidsen en chauffeur.

    God engelsk talene guide, der fortæller om alt på hele turen og gode funfacts. Kunne godt ha brugt lidt mere tid i Pythagoria og frokost lå lidt sent på dagen. Men fantastisk tur
