The brain behind this tunnel was Eupalinos, who thought of making a way up Mount Kastro using mathematical calculations. This tunnel was the first of its kind in the world and planned to be the aqueduct to convey water to Pythagoreion. It was in use for a whole millennium but now, you can visit it for a short 20 minutes tour or a long one, lasting for an hour.

A charming fishing village with lots of little boats still anchored by the shore. The little traditional tavernas fill in the quayside where tourists and locals enjoy lovely afternoons gazing at the sea while sipping a delicious coffee or having a nibble.

Near Karlovasi there is a gorgeous waterfall you can go to. To access the main waterfall, you can wade through the pools. All the way up the wooden stairway there is a taverna, and from there, you can follow the path to the next waterfall with a great pool at the base where you can take a dip.

It is said that Pythagoras hid in a cave just at an ascending trailhead of Mount Kerkis. Inside, there were two caves and one of them was used as a classroom. There is a little white chapel at the entrance too. Pythagoras dwelling is a bit more tricky to get access to as it is located at the end of a tough trail marked with red signs.

In Pythagorion, there are the ruins of Thermes, that is a Roman bath complex. These baths were built in the 2nd century AD and included public buildings and baths between the sanctuary of Heraion and the ancient town of Samos, now the modern village of Pythagorion).

The different pools and the sauna were what the Romans used to enjoy and socialise in their free time. The old marble walls and the mosaics were beautiful pieces of art. Now you can see what remains of this stunning complex.
