Getting there from the UK.
You can fly from Manchester or Gatwick and Heathrow.
Travel companies going to Samos at the minute are Excel, Thomson.. http://www.thomson.co.uk/
Easyjet have cheap flights to Athens, http://www.easyjet.com/ and then you can fly Olympic to Samos, www.olympicairlines.com/ all bookable on line.
One or Two weeks seem to be the best option, having recently spoken to a Samos Fan who wanted a Three week holiday, (Lucky Man !!),
flights can be either expensive ot time consuming, best bet is ebookers for longer visits www.ebookers.com, you can get there via Athens with only an hour wait between flights.
Try www.flightline.co.uk they are sometimes cheaper, especially if you can get a seat WITHOUT a meal !!! saved me £200.00 this year.
You probably won't get any flights with Excel as they seem to sell them all to Thomsons !!
From London the cheapest way is by Easyjet to Athens http://www.easyjet.com/ and then by Aegean Airways http://www.aegeanair.com/aegeanen/home/ . The flight from Athens to Samos is only an hour.
If you want to get away from it all to a beautiful Greek Island, we think that you will agree with us that it is worth that little bit of extra effort and book direct. More and more people book direct every year, why let the holiday companies dictate where you can stay ! They will send you to a more remote part of the island where you will soon become bored of the resort and pay them to take you on a trip. This is where they make most of their money!! Look on Holidays Uncovered, you will find some very good reviews of Samos and Ireon, compare it to other islands and you will see what we mean.
