Travel Advisor for solo women travellers

Day 1 – Arrival in Kokkari
Arrive on the sun-kissed island of Samos. A short transfer brings you to your family-run hotel in Kokkari. Settle in, breathe the sea air, and enjoy your first evening wandering the village streets.
Days 2–3 – Life by the Bay
Ease into island rhythm. Swim in the clear waters, sip coffee in the square, and explore pebble beaches like Lemonakia and Tsamadou. Evenings are for taverna dinners and music drifting through the lanes.
Day 4 – Island Discovery
Take an optional excursion into Samos’ cultural heart — visit the ancient Temple of Hera, step into Pythagoras’ Cave, or hike among olive groves to the mountain village of Manolates.
Days 5–6 – Taste & Tradition
Join a wine tasting of Samos’ world-famous sweet Muscat, or stroll local markets for fresh figs and olives. Spend afternoons on the terrace, or head out on a gentle hike along the coast.
Day 7 – A Final Sunset
Your last full day to soak up the island charm — perhaps kayaking in the bay, or simply enjoying the view from your balcony.
Day 8 – Farewell to Samos
Say goodbye to Kokkari, carrying the warmth of the island and its people with you.
