The climate can be considered warm-mediterranean, with few
rainfalls, and no periods of drought. The highest mountains
in Aegean lie on Samos. The mountainous ground leaves room
only for small plains and valleys, where there are long olive
groves, vines that produce the famous Samian wine, orange trees
and other fruit-bearing trees. Mount Kerkis on Samos is considered
one of the 113 areas with the most significant bird species
worldwide. Among these species are the golden eagle, the eagle-falcon,
the snake-eagle, the island-partridge and the seaeagle. Some
of the migratory birds that stop for food at the watery grounds
of Samos are: glaronia (seagulls), the browngoose, the alcyon,
the "warriors", flamingos and "tranomouganes",
while at sea one will find "rinodelfina"(a dolphin
species) or "mavrodelfina" (black dolphins), the
mediterranean seal and the seaturtle Kareta-Kareta.Today, Samos
is one of the most hospitable parts of Greece.
Cheerful, friendly and warmhearted, the Samians live a traditional lifestyle,
accustomed though to the messages of modern times the tourists bring along
with them.
The island of Samos is considered to be a perfect choice
for your holidays if you are interested in combining your ecological
with your paleontological interests
