On an altitude of 180 meters and 9 km southeast of Koumeika you will find the village of Skoureika. Most probably the name derives from the surname of the first villager to inhabit this area (George Skouras) but another explanation is that the first settlers came from the Euboean village named Skoura as N. Dimitriou suggests in his book “Samian Folklore”. The inhabitants are mostly farmers produsing olive oil in the majority. To the southwest of the village are the settlements of Kampos with 7 residents, Perri with 28 and Pefkos with 17 that belong to the village of Skoureika. All these settlements are near small but scenery beaches.
Its highest
ever-recorded population was recorded in the 1920 census, 497 residents.
