Holidays to North Samos

North Samos holidays

Kokkari & Aghios Konstantinos

Transfer time 40 minutes & 1 hour

Kokkari is the prettiest seaside village on Samos. With its three good beaches, long colourful waterfront and picturesque fishing harbour, all overlooked by the characterful old village above, Kokkari is an ever-popular choice amongst all ages and nationalities.

Although Kokkari has largely retained its ‘village’ character it also enjoys quite a cosmopolitan atmosphere – especially in the evenings when people come to stroll, sit at a waterside café, and later dine. There is a wealth of eating places to choose from, ranging from traditional taverna to upmarket bistro, and some nightlife. Kokkari also has a couple of internet cafés.

The main pebble beach stretches for half a mile. Around the corner are two pretty shingle bays; the further sheltered from the frequent prevailing wind by an attractive rocky headland. A string of Samos’ most famous beaches begins only a 20 minute walk to the west with Lemonakia.

A good bus service links Kokkari with Samos Town 10 kms away. All excursions pick-up from the village, mountain bikes can be rented, there is a windsurf school www.samoswindsurfing.gr/ and the mountains behind offer fine walking opportunities.
