Platanos

Following to the south the road that leads to Konteika and after 3 km, the beautiful village of Platanos is located, surrounded by forests and vineyards.

It’s named after the great plane trees that spring in it’s main square (Platanos = Plane tree in Greek). It has an excellent view to the west and south; you can see the mountain Kerkis and the villages on it, the southwest seacoast of Samos, Fournoi and many islands of the Dodecanese.
It was built in the beginning of the 17th century from settlers from the island of Eboea.

The residents are occupied in agriculture and especially in vineyards.
The road continues to the west with many turns and after 4 km it meets the road that leads to Pythagoreio and then Samos town on the 9th km from Karlovasi or 41st from Samos town.

In the village you’ll find a beautiful square with traditional cafes and restaurants in the midst of plane trees and a spring with plenty of fresh water.
Its highest ever-recorded population was recorded in the 1940 census, 900 people.
