Hi
Does anyone know how far it is from the Port Pythagoria to the airport and are there lots of buses or would I need to get a taxi. My ferry gets in at 12.55 and flight goes at 15.25.
thanks
It's about 4 or 5 miles from memory. I don't think there are any buses but you'll get a taxi okay.
Thanks Andrew.........my trip is coming together at last yea!
There are only a few buses, about 4 per day, from Pythagorion past the Airport. It's only a few miles/kilometres so around 8 Euros by taxi. If there are no taxis at the ferry quay then just walk round the harbour to the right, there's a taxi rank by the junction with the main St half way round.
It would seem you are arriving on the 'Nissos Kalimnos' ferry in which case this is regularly 1-2 hours late arriving in Pythagorion so that means it's likely you won't make your flight.
I would go the day before if at all possible. Or use a Piraeus bound ferry from whatever island you are travelling from rather than Pythagorion.
Yes, I do recall that ferry being late but I wasn't sure if things had improved so I said nothing. Very sound advice, don't risk it.
Google Earth was right. The slip road to your left, after you pass "Skorpios" hotel on your way to Kalami, does go beyond Evangelistria church. It stops rather abruptly, you park and then you walk along a paved path, the last hundred metres or so of a seasonal watercourse. And there you are, at the heaven of my childhood. Lakka beach, currently unfrequented, the first clean beach near Samos town. My kids enjoyed it and appreciated the fact that I learnt swimming in that very beach.
Vourliotes is on of the oldest villages, built at the end of 16th or beginning of the 17th century. It’s named after its first inhabitants, who came from Vourla in Asia Minor.
It lies on an altitude of 340 metres above the Aegean Sea and is surrounded by lush pine forests, vineyards, olive trees and numerous wild flowers. I suppose the village has been built on this place because there is an abundance of water. At the entrance of the village along the main road you can see the old spring.
There are spectacular views of the mountainous scenery and to the sea.
The village looks like a labyrinth with its narrow and winding roads lined with whitewashed houses which have different coloured window and door frames. The church however is decorated in traditional white and blue.
Shops are very small and seemed to be very authentic; we found just one with the common touristy knick knacks.
All roads do lead to the picturesque square with a couple of cafés; a perfect spot for a rest while hiking around in the mountains of Samos. If you are not a hiker, at least make some shorts walks out of the village (towards the cemetery or into the direction of Pnaka) and enjoy the rich coloured wild flowers.
