Our verdict

Samos, Greek island in the north of the Dodecanese archipelago 1 miles from the Turkish coast (the closest of the Greek islands to a foreign coast): 33,000 inhabitants over 180 sq miles. Greener than the Cyclades thanks to its abundant water sources (Nestlé Samos mineral water), mountains including Kerkis 4,700 ft.
