Samothraki or Samothrace is situated between the island of Lemnos and Thassos. It is the tallest Greek island in the Thracian Sea, named after the mountain Saos, known to reach an astounding height of 1,611 meters. According to mythology, this dramatic mountain was where the god Poseidon watched the Trojan War.
If you are ever sailing the North Aegean, Samothraki is a great stop. Before you begin your private sailing trip, however, you might like to visit several sights. The island’s trademark is the Sanctuary of the Great Gods. The archaeological monument is located in the ancient city of Samothraki, Paleopoli. Here you will be energized by the Kavirian mysteries that took place during antiquity. They are equally important as the Eleusinian ones that are part of the Panhellenic range. The same site features the statue of Nike, daughter of the Titans, and the winged goddess of Victory. Samothraki is also famous for its river stream known as Fonias., ideal for swimming in its running waters. Finally, a sailing trip in Samothraki is great for visitors who want to get the whole picture of the island.
Renting a sailboat in Samothraki will lead you to interesting beaches on the outskirts of the island. Pachia Ammos which means “a thick layer of sand” is an ideal beach for relaxation, only 15 km from the main port of the island. With a sailboat, you can anchor in the tranquil cove of Karkani, close to Pachia Ammos. A second popular beach for vacationers is Vatos which is only accessible by yacht. Although Samothraki has fewer beaches compared to the rest of the Greek islands, it has a fascinating landscape that wins in every aspect. One can enjoy sailing but also kayaking, trekking, climbing, and mountain biking, thanks to its superb morphology.
A sailing trip in Samothraki may be combined with a cruise to Thassos and Lemnos. Sailing from Kavala, you can always include these beautiful destinations in your itinerary. Since Samothraki is not connected to the mainland, you can always begin your sailing trip from Lemnos, Kavala, or Thessaloniki. A luxury sailboat is a perfect choice for a longer adventure by the sea. With a skipper, you can have the comfort of exploring Halkidiki, Thessaloniki, or the Sporades islands. You would be pleased to explore the majestic islands of Alonissos, Skiathos, and Skopelos that stretch out into the Aegean Sea. Finally, Samothraki may be a remote Greek island but is definitely a wonderful stop if you prefer low-key vacations.
