Three km northwest of Pythagoreio lies the village of Chora, at the northeast part of the homonymous plain. Untill 1854, Chora was the capital of the island and this is the reason of its name since almost all island capitals bare this name. The residents of Chora are occupied in tourism and agriculture. In the earlier days the main cultivation was tobbaco. The airport of Samos is also in the general area of Chora. The settlement of Potokaki with 49 residents belongs to the region of Chora. It’s built by the seaside and it’s a very well developed touristic settlement.
Its
highest ever-recorded population was recorded in the 1928 census, 2079
residents.
