Samos Archaeological Museum is regarded as one of the most interesting provincial museums in Greece. Its collection rivals Delos in its splendour with a magnificent statue rescued from the temple of Hera towering above its visitors. Located close to the Town Hall and the Central Park of Vathi the museum is housed in two parts across a courtyard.

Various items dating back to the Hellenistic, Prehistoric, Geometric and the archaic period can be seen. Samos Archaeological Museum is the most interesting and well though out exhibitions we’d seen. It’s treasure trove of interesting artefacts and insightful publications provided in-depth detail on many aspects of Greek history.

In the garden outside we rested from the heat whilst fresh water from fountains in the garden cooled the air. Sitting under a canvas canopy we wait for our coach to arrive. We found this holiday far from frantic, a steady themes of archaeology at a pace to enjoy, there was no rush to move on, or any need for encouraging words as we were all engaged.

Big sky, blue sea and clear horizons greeted our ancient sailors leaving the harbour of Pythagorean and so too the guests of the Turkish Gulet ‘Almira’. Our brilliant white sails silently pushed us south to the Island of Patmos and the Archaeological discoveries of John the Apostle.
