La proprietà — Remezzo
Remezzo is a compact, family-run 3-star on a hillside just above Pythagoreio’s main square, with a terrace that overlooks the harbour and the ancient fortifications. The lobby is small and tiled, with a reception desk that doubles as a mini-bar counter, and the whole place has the practical, unpretentious feel of a well-kept guesthouse. It suits couples and solo travellers who want a clean, central base within walking distance of the port, the beach and the Efpalinion Tunnel — not a resort with pools or evening entertainment. The USP is the terrace view: breakfast there feels like sitting in the town’s front row.
Cronache di Pythagoreio
Pythagoreio sits on the site of ancient Samos, a powerful Ionian city-state that reached its peak under the tyrant Polycrates in the 6th century BC. The Efpalinion Tunnel, a 1,036-metre aqueduct carved through a mountain, was one of the engineering wonders of the ancient world and remains the city’s most famous monument. The modern settlement was rebuilt after the 1824 massacre during the Greek War of Independence, and its current grid of narrow streets and neoclassical houses dates largely from the 19th century. Named after Pythagoras in 1955, the town is now a UNESCO World Heritage site, balancing its archaeological legacy with a working fishing harbour and steady summer tourism. The local identity is quietly proud, more traditional than cosmopolitan Vathy, the island’s capital on the northern coast.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Pythagoreio →I migliori mesi
May, June and September: temperatures in the mid-20s °C, the Meltemi wind hasn’t fully kicked in, and the harbour cafés are busy but not gridlocked.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August: midday heat often exceeds 35 °C, the Meltemi is strongest (good for sailing, bad for light sleepers in exposed rooms), and ferries from Athens are packed. Hotel prices double or triple; the annual Samos Wine Festival in August (dates vary) draws day-trippers from all over the island.
Stagione di spalla
Late April, early May, and October: room rates at Remezzo can drop 30-40 %, the sea is still swimmable (22-24 °C in October), and archaeological sites are nearly empty.
Meteo e imballaggio
A strong, dry wind called the Meltemi funnels through the Samos Strait from mid-June to September, often gusting 30-40 km/h by afternoon. Pack a light windbreaker, a sun hat with a chin strap, and at least two swimsuits — one to dry while you wear the other, because high humidity means nothing dries fast on a balcony.
Briefing della città — Pythagoreio
- The pedestrianisation of the waterfront promenade from the old harbour to the Polycrates Wall is now complete, making the walk from Remezzo to the beach quieter and safer, though some taverna owners complain about reduced vehicle access for deliveries.
- Samos’s main ferry operator, Blue Star Ferries, has added an extra weekly departure from Piraeus to Pythagoreio for summer 2026, cutting the sailing time by about an hour compared with the older vessels on the route.
- A new museum dedicated to the Efpalinion Tunnel opened in spring 2026 in the old market hall near the harbour, with a 3D walkthrough of the tunnel’s construction — worth an hour if you’ve already done the real thing.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Remezzo, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room at the rear of the building, away from Pythagoras street. First-floor rooms facing the courtyard or side alley are quieter and have less street noise. Since all rooms are on the same floor, your main choices are interior-facing vs street-facing.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid any room facing Pythagoras street. It's a main road in Pythagoreio, so rooms directly above the front entrance get traffic noise, especially during summer evenings. Also avoid rooms near the stairwell where guests come and go.
Best views
Street-facing rooms overlook Pythagoras street and the harbour area. No written view data, but given the address near the port, street-side rooms likely have a partial sea or town view. Rear rooms look onto neighbouring buildings or a courtyard.
Quietest floors
There's only one residential floor (first floor above reception). All rooms are on that floor, so quietness depends on orientation, not floor level. Choose rear-facing rooms.
🔊 Noise notes
Pythagoras 15 is on a main street in Pythagoreio, a small port town. Expect traffic noise during the day from cars, scooters, and delivery vehicles. At night, pedestrians and bar/restaurant sound from nearby establishments. No lift means stairwell noise from other guests.
Insider tips
1. Parking is for 8 cars only, first-come-first-served. Arrive before 4pm in high season, or use the public car park 200m east (€5 overnight) to avoid circling. 2. You get one Wi-Fi device per room. Ask at check-in if you need a second code — they sometimes oblige. No lift, so pack light or request a ground-floor luggage storage if you have heavy bags.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Moneta e moneta
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
ATMs are the easiest way to get euros; avoid exchange bureaux at the port or airport—they give poor rates and often charge a fee.
Cards are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants, and supermarkets, but smaller tavernas, bakeries, and market stalls still prefer cash; contactless works almost everywhere.
Tipping is not expected but appreciated; round up the bill at a taverna (e.g., €40 becomes €45), leave €1–2 per bag for porters, and taxi drivers don't expect a tip.
Mangiare, fare shopping e viaggiare su un budget
Cheap car hire →A Greek frappe or Freddo cappuccino at a local kafeneio costs about €3–3.50.
A gyros pita from a takeaway shop is €3.50–4.50; a sit-down dish of moussaka or souvlaki is around €8–10.
A main course at a decent taverna (e.g., grilled fish, stifado) runs €10–15; look for the 'market price' catch of the day—often the most expensive option.
Grab a gyros pita or souvlaki from the small takeaway spots along the waterfront or near the main square—avoid the touristy ones right on the harbour for lower prices.
Supermarkets like Lidl and AB Vassilopoulos are common in Pythagoreio; smaller 'mini market' shops stock essentials at slightly higher prices.
For affordable clothes and beachwear, head to the market stalls along the main street or the weekly market (laiki) which is usually on Fridays near the town centre.
A single bus ticket within town costs €1.40; the budget way from Samos Airport is the local bus (line 2) for €1.80 into Pythagoreio—taxis from the airport cost around €15.
Buy bottled water and snacks from a supermarket rather than the kiosks on the harbour—markup is at least 50%.Eat lunch at tavernas that offer a 'menu of the day' (often €8–10 including a drink) instead of ordering à la carte.Walk or rent a bicycle to explore the town and nearby beach of Potokaki—it's flat and most sites are within 20 minutes on foot.

Principali attrazioni a Pythagoreio
💡 The tower stairs are narrow and steep – skip if you’re claustrophobic, but the view is worth the squeeze.
💡 Best visited late afternoon when the light picks out the mosaic patterns – bring water as there’s no shade.
💡 Arrive just before 7pm to grab a bench and watch the fishermen pull in their catch – it’s a free show.
💡 Combine with a visit to the nearby Temple of Hera site for a combined ticket that saves you a few euros.
💡 Bring sturdy shoes and a torch if you want to linger; the tunnel is damp and uneven. Go early to avoid queues.
