Gay Samos Island

Virginia Hotel is a gay-friendly hotel in Samos Town, offering a peaceful stay between the harbour and the historic centre of Vathy. This family-run hotel is a great base for exploring the island's beaches, villages, and walking trails.

Rooms range from standard accommodation to sea-view rooms, studios with kitchenettes and family rooms with connecting doors. Each includes air conditioning, complimentary Wi-Fi, a fridge, TV, and private balcony.

Guests can relax by the rooftop pool while taking in panoramic views across Samos Bay or unwind in the hotel's peaceful courtyard gardens, home to its resident tortoises. The friendly team can also arrange car hire and share local recommendations to help guests discover the island.

The hotel serves traditional home-cooked Greek cuisine, with occasional live music evenings adding to the atmosphere. Guests can also enjoy drinks and light bites at the bar overlooking the bay.

Armonia Bay Hotel is a gay-friendly hotel on the northeast coast of Samos, overlooking the crystal-clear waters of Tsamadou Beach. The hotel sits just a short walk from Tsamadou Beach, the island's official nudist beach, while the fishing village of Kokkari is only a few minutes away.

The hotel offers 24 bright, contemporary rooms, each with either a private balcony or garden terrace overlooking the sea or landscaped gardens. Guests can relax beside the infinity pool, which uses naturally filtered spring water from the nearby Karvounis Mountains, or soak up the panoramic coastal views from the hotel's terraces.

Breakfast features homemade cakes, fresh fruit, Greek yoghurt and cooked-to-order eggs. The restaurant serves Mediterranean dishes throughout the day, while the terrace provides a scenic setting for lunch, dinner or a glass of Greek wine overlooking the bay.
