Walking on Samos, Dieter Graf (βιβλίο στα Αγγλικά)

This book describes the lovliest old walking trails. With detailed maps, exact times and photos of outstanding points for better orientation. And lots of useful knowledge about the "Island of abundance". It is made for island hoppers who want to drift through the island world by ship and who would also like to hike and swim in this ancient cultural landscape.

One of the ancient names of Sámos was Stephane, the “Island of abundance“; it was also called “Flowery“, ”Virginal“, ”Cypress-rich“ – all of which still applies today. The abundance of water and the gentle moulding of the landscape have given rise to one of the most fertile islands in the Aegean. Sámos’ variety of landscapes is unique: united here are forests with pines, oaks and planes, terraced vineyards, concealed springs and what is more, at 1,140 m, the highest mountain in the Aegean, the Kérkis.
