A quick hop over the sea from Kusadasi, and you'll find yourself on the Greek Island of Samos. Spend a day at your own pace in Pythagoreio or make your way to another part of the island such as Vathy, with your return ferry, taxes and round trip transfers in Kusadasi covered.

You'll dock in Pythagoreio where you can relax on the nearby pebble beach, wander around the quaint harbour or head up to the rooftop pool at Samos Hotel – the choice is yours. Vathy is around 20 minutes in a taxi and here, you can visit the famous Archaeological Museum, browse for souvenirs at the main square,or amble along its cobblestone streets and relax into the island pace of life. Set around a horseshoe bay, you'll be able to stroll along the bustling quayside filled with tavernas and cafés, where you can watch the world go by.

After a busy day exploring, you'll head back to Kusadasi by ferry in the early evening.

I guess this is referring to TUI staff - no major issues there except we were told border checks would be quiet as it was Wednesday - almost 2 hours on both sides waiting. In Samos, 2 hours in the exposed sun with 3 small kids. Back at Kusadasi port, another hour. Didn't get back to the hotel until after 9, missed dinner Reservation and could barely feed the kids from what was left at the buffet. On the island was fine - beach is small and we were lucky to get paid beds, but it was fine.

A brilliant trip to the lovely Samos, perfect time to eat and drink in the many Taverners. followed by enough time to explore the harbor and shopping streets.

Enjoyed the town, took too long to get through passport control, driver on phone in transfer while driving and overtaking,

Not worth the money we paided theres nothink for kids to do only resturants and gift shops eat in one resturant which was nice bit pricey then had to sit 5 hours back by passport control to wait ro board the ship as a parent with 4 kids two boys with adhd it was a stressful time would never go again but the ship ride was lovely cold upstairs deck but what more do u expect when on top deck on the sea but sat down stairs on way back and was warmer but was lovely to see ourselves arrivin back.

Die Fahrt und Passkontrollen auf der türkischen Seite waren sehr gut organisiert und zeitlich auch sehr pünktlich. Auf der griechischen Seite musste man ehr als eine Stunde in der Sonne warten, da es nur eine Kabine für die Passkontrolle gab und somit sich eine lange Schlange gebildet hatte. Es ging sehr im Schneckentempo vorran.

Super wycieczka, pięknie spędzony dzień, trochę na minus przeprawa graniczna zarówno w Turcji jak i w Grecji, mega kolejki, brak przewodnika lub chociażby informacji co warto zobaczyć, sama wyspa cudna, urokliwe uliczki, grecki klimat w pigułce, kąpiel w turkusowej wodzie, polecam
