The pine-clad trails atop dramatic cliffs offer spectacular views across the glittering Aegean Sea, and the perfect walking conditions to some of the island's most secluded beaches. Spend a glorious outdoor-driven day hiking trails and cooling off at beautifully remote beach spots along the way.
With its rugged hills and laid-back feel, western Samos is a destination of choice for those in the know. This guided walking route along the cliff-top trails will give you insider access to several of the island's best beaches – ones that can't be reached by car. Setting off from the village of Drakei, it's a scenic walk to the remote Megalo Seitani Beach.
After a well-earned swim and break for lunch, it's time for the second leg of the day. Up and over the trails you go, taking in the beach of Potami. The mountainous trails will never be extreme, but when the excursion is done, your legs will be thankful that there's a coach to bring you back.
