Samothraki

Off the coast of Alexandroupoli lies Samothraki, an unspoiled and majestic Greek island. This island is reserved for true nature lovers, hiking aficionados, and adrenaline seekers.

Many of the Greek islands have beautiful mountainous valleys. Lush green vegetation, rivers, waterfalls, and natural thermal pools adorn the rough and rugged mountains of Samothraki. The unique landscape offers adventure-seeking and nature enthusiasts plenty of exploring to do.

Exploring the beautiful waterfalls is the epicenter of this adventure. Streams and rivers descending from the summit form waterfalls and natural pools – or “fathers” – where people can enjoy the therapeutic benefits of the mountain waters. Learning yoga amidst the beautiful island will not just boost your happiness, but also rejuvenate your soul.
