Stretched out imposingly in the northern side of island Samos and gone around from green villages with a lot of vegetation and beaches with crystal clear waters, is found Karlovasi, the second largest town on the island, 35 km from Vathi. An unusually
planned town, it is divided into five sections: Old, New and Middle Karlovassi, the Bay and the Harbour. A stroll around the town will provide ample evidence of past glories, with mansions, large and impressive churches, and deserted tanneries. In the area
there are several bays for swimming, and in particular, the idyllic Potami and large and small beaches of Saytani.
