Situated in Greece’s northeastern corner, in the Aegean Archipelagus, is Samothrace. A rock towering almost vertically from the sea. One of our country’s most beautiful and picturesque islands. Opposite the Delta of the Evros river in the midst of the Thracian sea.
From the Panaghia Kremiotissa monastery (church).
Its mountain -Saos or Saoke- is the highest mountain in the Aegean. Its summit, Feggari, climbs to 1.664 metres.
It is on this mountaintop that Homer imagined Poseidon, god of the sea, seated while watching the developments of the Trojan war.
The island is oval-shaped with an area of almost 180Km2; its coastline is 32 km.
Lush vegetation in the island’s centre.
In the southern part of the island beyond the beach of Pachia Ammos.
What we have here is a amalgam of small valleys, high mountains and endless beaches which either lower their level to become secret, peaceful inlets or rise to heights showing nature’s power.
This island is one of those blessed places whose earth has been sung by endless winds, with its island warmth coupled to the innate nobility of the Greek spirit.
"Tis Grias ta Pania" - The old woman’s cloths.
Little lakes filled with life form near the sea.
An island covered in ruined castles, chrystal waters, green valleys and forests. Filled with endless churches and legends. Mountains flooded in song folklore and tradition.
Lands which gave Greece all that which they held most precious: spirit, faith, the fight for freedom, civilisation.
A way up to the Fonia waterfalls.
