View of Karlovasi and the Ambelos Massif

Highlight • Viewpoint

Behind the cave chapel of Agios Antonis opens the view of Karlovasi and the villages on the western edge of the Ambelos massif. Just beautiful.

Potami Gorge and Stream

Highlight • Gorge

Very nice stream with the Potami waterfalls.
A pleasant cooling off in summer.
Part of the stream can only be accessed through the water and with swimwear.
So take flip-flops and a towel with you.
Worth it!

Wooden Staircase to Taverna Archontissa (Potami Gorge)

Highlight • Structure

The stairs are really an adventurous construction.
It leads about 40m from the Potami valley to the tavern Archondissa.
It is worth it!

May 26, 2025,Karlovasi - Potamischlucht (Samos 🇬🇷)

A tour with plenty of highlights: churches and chapels (there was even a mini-chapel in a cave) as well as the wildly romantic Potami Gorge. You can only reach the waterfalls by swimming, so I skipped those. But of course, I climbed the adventurous stairs to the "tree house" (and back down again).

Went on the road today in the rain or very high humidity. We actually wanted to go a little further, which unfortunately was thwarted by a fall on my part. So go back as soon as possible. Nevertheless, Tour 4 is a great trail with an alpine character that is really fun. And the tavern Archontissa at the Potami waterfalls …
