Holidays in Kambos

An introduction to Kambos

A growing new resort on Samos' southern shores, Kambos devotes itself entirely to beach life. You'll see why as soon as you arrive here. Beside the resort's hotels and apartments a gloriously sandy beach unrolls like a plush, velvet carpet in either direction. The views are equally lovely, with the vast, open sky broken only by the towering shape of rugged Mount Kerkis behind the sands. Basically, life here revolves around the beach, which is rightly favoured by sun-seeking families and couples. And should the lure of the beach pall, Kambos obliges with plentiful tavernas perfect for cooling down from the sun over a glass of chilled wine. When you fancy a change of backdrop for your relaxations, you'll be mightily pleased – the area brims with places to lay your towel. Just take your pick from the idyllic sheltered cove of Limnionas or nearby Psili Ammos (there's another of the same name near Samos), a half-moon of pale sand caressed by shallow turquoise waters. Or ring the changes completely with a boat trip to nearby Patmos, known for its impressive monastery and delightful beaches. If you feel like putting on that intrepid adventurer hat, take to the hills to ramble around the lower slopes of Kerkis, dotted with silent pine forests and hidden villages where authentic Samiot life still reigns supreme. In the cool of evening especially, it makes a refreshing contrast to sunbathing and swimming. And on your travels, stop every now and then to admire the views over Kambos and the glittering, plate-like sea beyond – it's all part of the Samos holiday experience.
