NAFTILOS HOTEL

Address: Pythagorian Samos

Pythagorion was renamed in 1955 to honour its most famous native son Pythagoras it was originally called Tigani, Greek for frying pan. The name almost certainly refers to the shape of the harbour than the summer temperatures, though the south facing port will sizzle in July. Cobbled streets and walled mansions make up the village centre while the waterfront is an uninterrupted queue of taverns, bars and cafes all crammed with tourists paying heavily over the odds. Despite the crowds and a harbour heaving with fishing boats and leisure craft, Pythgorio still manages a relaxed atmosphere, helping to make it the island's premier resort for the past 30 years. Once a big tobacco growing area it turned to olives but today there are more tourists than trees. There is a museum showing the local archaeological heritage, which has some sculptures, ancient statues, Roman busts and some 6th century BC grave reliefs. A not very imposing 19th century Logothetis castle sits on a hill to the south west, built mostly with stone pilfered from ancient temple sites. A spread of big hotels is parked well down the beach taking advantage of the huge swathe of coarse sand and shingle that stretches westward for several kilometres and is overflown by aircraft coming in to land at the nearby airport.
