Cheap accommodation in Samos/ Island hopping

by breenalison

We are two women who have a flight to Samos in August but haven't booked any accommodation yet. We will probably spend the first two nights and last night in Samos but we would love to visit other islands too. Neither of us have been to Greece so would appreciate any information please. Would we have trouble getting accommodation on any of the Isands, we are not too fussy and don't want to spend much? Where should we go, is it safe, etc.
Any ideas would be great,
Thanks
Alison

RE: Cheap accommodation in Samos/ Island hopping

It would be preferable to start your island hopping on arrival, the easiest islands to go to would be something like Patmos, Lipsi, Leros, Kalymnos. Ferries/hydrofoils go from Pythagorio (very near the airport) daily and you should be able to start the same day if your flight arrives by around 13:00. Leave your nights in Samos until the end to allow for a day or two 'ferry buffer'.

Going without booked accomodation and cheap does not apply to August, prices double and very limited availability (I don't go then, so I'm using informed guessing).

Other possibilities are Fourni and Ikaria or Chios and Lesbos, these have less frequent ferries so you would have to be careful not to miss your return flight.

I would at the very least secure your first nights accomodation, as August is very busy! That way if you arrive tired you can chill in the knowlegde you have somewhere to stay, then, if you can't find any accodation after that date, you can just hop on a ferry and begin your adventure!

for sure it will be really difficult to find acomodation right on spot.
much better to book ahead, else you will get tired searching, have to compromise a lot etc.
book somehow 2-3 nights and once you are there decide what to do next.
island hoping is generally easy for nearby islands. try :

Travel Tips for Samos

Inexpensive but Surprisingly Good!

by mazzap about Palladion

This restaurant was recommended by some guests we got chatting to where we were staying.

We had passed by it many times on an evening but had always dismissed it without question as it appeared to be just another 'fast-food' eatery selling Gyros kebabs from the front counter. We dutifully but reluctantly gave it a try one lunch time & were more than pleasantly surprised!!

We ordered a plate of mixed Greek starters to share - all were freshly made & delicious. We each had a Gyros kebab, a flat pitta bread with salad, some tzatsiki, a few fries & lamb or chicken sliced from a large gyrating block which is continually cooking through.

Everything we ate here was excellent & when he wasn't so busy, the friendly waiter sat nearby & gave us all the local gossip while we ate! The Gyros Special - a filling lunch!

Platanos, plane trees square

by vtveen

Platanos (first settled in 1641) is another of these typical mountain villages of Samos. This one is located more or less between the two mountain ranges of the island: Mount Kerkis and Mount Ambelos. The slopes are situated on the sunny south side and covered with lots of vineyards. The village lies on an altitude of more than 500 metres and is accessible via a road with some serious hairpins.

Platanos is named after the huge plane trees (platanos in Greek) on the triangular main square of the village. On each side of the ‘platia’ are local tavernas, each with different coloured chairs.
On the square is an old spring, dating back from 1837; on the way to the square is signpost to the ‘old wash building’, which is not used any longer.

Platanos has really great of the surrounding mountains and the south coast of Samos.
