Samothraki: The Wild Side of the North Aegean

If you are looking for an escape from the crowds, Samothraki is the destination. While nearby Thassos is famous for its soft beaches, Samothraki is a rugged paradise built for true nature lovers.
It is an island of dramatic contrasts. Instead of dry landscapes, you will find huge mountains, thick forests, and hidden waterfalls. The island is dominated by Mount Saos, the highest peak in the Aegean, which creates a wild and "rough" atmosphere that feels untouched by time.

What makes it unique?

• The Vathres: Natural rock pools and waterfalls hidden deep in lush green forests.
• Raw Nature: Perfect for hikers and explorers who want to see the wild side of Greece.
• Authentic Spirit: No big resorts—just small villages, mountains, goats, and crystal-clear water. 

Samothraki is a wild island, and its coastline reflects that. There are very few places to drop anchor safely because the water gets deep very quickly and the winds can be strong.
Important: The only safe, all-weather port on the island is Kamariotissa.
