A hourbur of Samos - Sky Watch Friday



The ferry boat is not realy modern, but Samos is a small Island with some 25.000 habitants and that means the big modern ferries are not realy making good money. So some times especially the Winter months we are really happy to see the Kallisti Ferries arriving in our place...

The Town Hall where it had once been housed the Parliament of Samos and now, apart of the Town Hall, it is also housed the Municipal Gallery with several historic souvenirs of the recent history of the island. Among those we should mention the Constitution of the State of Samos, several portraits of governors and other important persons of the political, economic and social life of the island and several documents of the local history.

IMG_0053




This 150 years old church is situated in the capital of Samos, Vathy, on the Square of Agios Spyridon.It is a church of an historic importance because it is the place where the decision to unite Samos with the rest of Greece was taken..On the feast day of the saint, to whom the chapel is dedicated, on December 12, a local food is served which is made from flour ground up and boiled with meat, butter and onions. It is called "yiorti" (feast).
