Samos is the 8th largest of
the Greek islands and lies separated from the Turkish coast by a narrow strait of water no more than 2km wide at its closest
point. A mountain chain runs along the island from west to east, rising to two main peaks. Mt. Kerketeus at the western end
nearly 5000ft high with Mt. Karvouni to the east. This is an area where wild orchids and medicinal herbs grow among the pines.The
fertile lowlands are covered in olive groves, and vinyards producing a range of wines.
