5Samothrace – The Wild Paradise

For Greeks who love adventure and nature, Samothrace is a hidden gem. Located in the northern Aegean, this island is famous for its waterfalls, lush forests, and Mount Saos, the highest mountain in the Aegean islands. Locals enjoy trekking to the ‘Vathres’—natural pools formed by cascading waterfalls—where they can swim in the purest mountain waters.

Samothrace also has a deep mythological and historical significance, being home to the Sanctuary of the Great Gods, where the famous Winged Victory of Samothrace statue was discovered. The island’s wild beauty makes it a top choice for Greeks seeking an escape from the ordinary.
