Paliocastro

Five Km southeast of Samos town, Paliocastro is located. It is surrounded by hills and invisible from the sea. Its name is attributed to an old castle that lies near by (old = Palio, Castle = Castro).

The village was built in the beginning of the 17th century.
Most of the inhabitants of Paliocastro are occupied in tourism and agriculture with olives being the primary product of the village. In the old days tobacco was also widely cultivated.

To the east and south of Paliocastro are the beautiful beaches of Kerveli, Posidonio and Psili Ammos. They are picturesque beaches with tranquil and beep blue water and lay in the straits that separate Samos from Asia Minor, Europe from Asia. In this area is also the Krokos cape that is the closest point, only 1200 meters!

The settlements of: Argyro with 11 residents, Klima with 6, Poseidonia with 37, Charavgi with 28 and psili Ammos with 45 residents belong to the Paliocastro district. The last 3 are by the sea and swiftly developing because of the tourism in the area.
