Your destination
About Samos
From Samos, Turkey is seventy-five minutes away and Athens is nine hours. That single fact reorganises how the island is used: Ephesus is an easy day out, İzmir is a plausible airport, and the ferry to Piraeus is an overnight you take once. The island has three harbours, and one of them cannot help you cross to Turkey at all.
