Located at the foot of Mount Fenegari, the island of Samothrace is the ideal destination for those who love a holiday in the middle of nature. Due to its wild appearance and the difficulty of accessing it due to the few docking points, the island is little frequented, but offers interesting ancient vestiges.A clump of clouds on top of a mountain in the middle of the sea: this is how the island of Samothrace will appear to you as you approach it by ferry.
The mind because Samothrace is a place to set out on the trail of myth, not just the nearest beach. Samothraki, as the Greeks call it, shrouded in its mystery, seems almost ignored by shipping companies, disappeared from maps, isolated in the northern Aegean. Yet it is the last shield of Greece before the enemy of all time, Turkey. And few islands are as interesting, in terms of attitude, morphology and sociology. Here the famous Nike of Samothrace was found, which has become a symbol of classical sculpture; here, in the Sanctuary of the Great Gods, traces of an ancient and enigmatic cult are sought, followed for centuries by all the powerful of the ancient world. Here there is mysticism and nature.
As its name suggests, in ancient times Samothrace was inhabited by immigrants from Thrace, who were then assimilated by Greek colonists and later came under Roman rule.
