Samothraki offers some of the best –though still largely unexplored – hiking opportunities in Greece, with valleys filled with massive gnarled oak and plane trees, and forests redolent of olive and pine. Capped by mighty Mount Saos and its peak Fengari (Moon) on 1611m, Samothraki does seem like a totally different Aegean Island, holding some mystery underneath the shadow of its dense forests. One of Europe’s most important ancient spiritual sites lies here for over a thousand years, Samothraki’s Sanctuary of the Great Gods was the site of a mystery religion respected and endowed by the Mediterranean world’s greatest rulers.
