October 2008, the summer season 2008 is almost past and gone, no doubt about it. But sunny and warm October often has many nice days to offer and here are some impressions of places on Samos I went to between 9th and 14th of October:
a.) Kokkari on the north coast:
Not so much going on here anymore on the west beach!
The north wind brings waves inside the harbour. Wave meets "Wave"!
b.) Balos beach on the south coast:
c.) Samos-town. Everyday's life is going on without tourists. Café Ireon on platía Pythagoras filled with people.
d.) Ireon looks like everybody went home already:
e.) Almost empty Tsabou beach with beautiful water colours on the north coast near Avlákia:
f.) On the square (platía) in Léka:
g.) On the narrow road between Léka and Tsourlei:
h.) Taverna and houses in the small settlement of Tsourlei. We were the only people to be seen over there.
i.) Mikró Seitáni beach in the north-west of Samos. Sea was warm, but waves were a bit high and very strong on this day.
j.) On the square (platía) in Kontakéika. Late afternoon and evening atmosphere. View along the north coast line to the west over Karlovasi.
k.) Nighttime on the 10th of October in the port of Pythagorio. Some taverns and bars are already closed. Almost no people in the port and empty seats everywhere in the open taverns and bars around 11 p.m.
Some young people put a grill in front of "Karafaki", and begin to grill octopus and squid to overcome the boring situation.
