LOCATION OF THE PORT IN SAMOS ISLAND GREECE
The port is built in the homonymous lee bay and is considered as a
National Port. The obtuse angled wharf of more than 150 meters
length, has the capacity of hosting at all its sides more than 5
ships at the same time, such as passenger-car ferries -freighters,
tankers, pleasure and tourist vessels, yachts, fishing boats and
sailing boats.
The blackouts of the port include modern facilities which host the
Harbour Master Office of Samos, the reception hall of the Customs
for visitors from countries out of the European zone, the arrivals
and departures terminal as well as the services of Samos Port
Authorities. During the last years, a new Commercial Port is being
constructed in Samos, thanks to national and EU sums, in the area of
Malagari, in order to relieve the congestion at the central coast
road, Themistoklis Sofoulis Ave., especially during the summer
season.
At the dock of Vathy bay and along its breakwater, there is the
proper infrastructure for hosting more than 80 pleasure sailing
vessels and yachts, with water and electricity supply throughout the
day. At the end of the coastal zone, opposite the National Bank,
there is a fishing boats shelter which can host more than 50 fishing
boats.
Samos is daily connected, with conventional or high speed ferries,
with the ports of Icaria, Cyclades and Piraeus, three times a week
connected with the port of Chios and from November 1st with the port
of Mytiline.
It is also connected with all the islands of the North Aegean and
the Dodecanese islands once a week through the shipping route from
Alexandroupoli to Rhodes. During the summer season there is a direct
connection with Thessaloniki in order to serve the hundreds of
Samians as well as the friends of the Macedonian capital.
Finally, Samos is connected on a daily basis more or less throughout
the year with the port of Kusadasi in Turkey with 2 Greek and 2
Turkish boats, enabling visitors to admire the ancient monuments of
Ephesus.
