About Chora Samothraki - presentation, information, photos and recommendations
The capital of the island of Samothrace is called Chora. It is situated about 5 km east of Karmiotissa. Here between the small and tightly packed houses, go back in time. Chora is situated at the foot of a hill and from the sea it is almost invisible. It was built a bit "hidden away" like that in the Middle Ages to protect if from pirate attacks from sea. This village with its maze of narrow cobbled streets and its Genoese fortress (which was originally Byzantine) is the most beautiful of the island. From the large central square, where you will find a couple of taverns, you have a nice view over the sea. A little further down the village at Palaiopoli there are more fortifications in the shape of three towers from the 15th century (1431).
