Churches galore

When it comes to traditional churches, Karlovasi boasts its fair share. They’re peppered all over the town from the coast to up on the mountainside. If you’re going to visit any, it has to be Agios Nikolaos – it's a 19th-century beauty with turquoise domes and a palm-lined path leading to its entrance.

Wining and dining

Get ready to enjoy fresh seafood, meaty moussaka and souvlaki, paired with Samos’ famous sweet wine. Visit Vakakis Winery to sample their tipples, learn about local winemaking traditions and take home a bottle of their signature Muscat.

Retail therapy

If you want to get your shopping fix, look no further. Discover handmade ceramics and jewellery in Karlovasi’s charming boutiques. Pick up local honey and fragrant herbs for the ultimate souvenirs to take home for family and friends.
