There are many great historical and archaeological sites worth exploring while enjoying holidays in Samos. Pythagoras Cave is an interesting trek though you should be prepared to do some serious walking and wear comfortable shoes (and bring along some water) if you plan to visit this spot. The cave is where he hid when accused of corrupting the young. Today there is a monument to Pythagoras (my how times have changed) that is an interesting site to add to your list of things to do while in Samos (where he was born).

If shopping is your sport of choice you might enjoy spending a little money on the freshly squeezed and bottled orange juice that is sold throughout Samos. Samos is also famous for excellent honey, wine, jewelry, and art. Be sure to check out various shops that sell these goods. You never know what sort of treasures you will find. One thing you will find in abundant supply in Samos is cats so be prepared if you are allergic. They seem to be everywhere and love to beg for food. They are mostly harmless though and can be quite cute.
