Why I Chose This for You

Because sometimes the most soul-soothing journeys are the simplest ones. This isn’t about rushing from sight to sight — it’s about slow mornings with coffee on the terrace, afternoons wandering cobbled streets or dipping into turquoise bays, and evenings of laughter over fresh seafood and wine. It’s laidback, authentic, and perfect for travellers who crave a true taste of Greek island life.

About this Trip

Nestled on the northern coast of Samos, the picturesque fishing village of Kokkari stole my heart the very first time I stepped foot on Greek soil — and it’s ready to enchant you too. With its crystal-clear waters, pebbled beaches, and winding streets draped in bougainvillaea, this solo-friendly escape is all about simple joys, authentic living, and that unforgettable first taste of Greek island paradise.


Your home will be the Golden Sun Hotel, a small family-run hideaway with just 26 rooms surrounded by orange trees and gardens. It’s quiet, welcoming, and just a short stroll from both the beach and the charming village centre.
