Samos Town, Greece

If you’re looking to switch off and dose up on vitamin sea, holidays to Mykali more than fit the bill.

Island oasis

If your idea of an idyllic Greek escape includes ancient olive trees, spotless beaches, and no sounds except for the occasional clink of cutlery from a nearby taverna, Mykali is made for you. Barely more than a handful of buildings make up this little village, cuddling a sweeping pebble beach on the laidback south coast of Samos. But what Mykali lacks in loud nightlife, it more than makes up for in authentic charm. Chequered-tablecloth tavernas and a spa-quiet soundscape set the traditional tone.

Daytrips galore

Despite its faraway feel, Mykali is secretly sandwiched between two of the island’s most popular towns. Pythagorion, the birthplace of Pythagoras, is just 15 minutes away by car. Looking more like a muse for the arts instead of the home of famous formulas, you’ll find terracotta-topped homes tumbling down the hillside to a handsome harbour, primed for yacht watching. Meanwhile, lively Samos Town is a 20-minute drive in the other direction. Here you’ll find ouzo bars, colourful markets, and live music drifting through the streets come cocktail hour.

Nature rules the roost

Despite flying completely under the radar, Mykali has one of the longest beaches on the island. The water is mineral-pure – perfect for swimming – with views across the Mycale Straight to the pine-dusted hills of the Turkish coast. Meanwhile, a next-door nature reserve offers the chance to spot exotic migratory birds – flamingos flaunt their coral feathers here in the winter months. For a little more action, you can stroll on past the nature reserve to Psili Ammos Beach, an even more popular sandy spot.
