Samos-Island.com is an independent guide to Samos, a Greek island in the Aegean Sea. It covers the beaches, the villages and areas to stay in, getting there and getting around, the seasons, and the tours and excursions available on the island. The guide is published in English and German, and both versions follow the same research and correction process.

Practical details on this site are cross-checked with official sources. Airport information comes from Fraport Greece, which operates Samos airport (SMI). Population and statistical data rely on the Hellenic Statistical Authority (ELSTAT). For travel advice I check GOV.UK travel advice for Greece, and for border rules the European Commission pages on the Schengen area and the Entry-Exit System.

Kylian Dev is the pen name of a French web developer working with Laravel and DevOps. I build and run a small network of independent travel guides: Thailand Voyager, Koh-Lanta-Island.com, Samos-Island.com and Railay-Krabi.com. The same person writes, verifies and corrects all of them. I write in English, French and German, so the pages published in these languages come from the same editorial process.

I wanted guides that are clear about where their information comes from. Travel pages often mix facts, opinions and advertising without saying which is which. Here, practical details are checked against official sources, affiliate links are labelled as sponsored, and no place pays to be listed or recommended. The goal is simple: give you information you can verify yourself before you book or travel.

Every page starts with a research phase, then each practical claim is cross-checked with official sources: authorities, national parks, national weather services, transport operators, and entry and visa rules. Prices, schedules and travel times are given as indications and checked on the date shown on the page. When an official source says something different, the official source wins and the page is corrected.

Live prices and ratings for tours and stays come from booking partners such as GetYourGuide and Trip.com, and they can change until you book. Affiliate links are marked as sponsored, and no recommendation is sold or exchanged. Every page has a button to report outdated information. I read these reports and apply corrections quickly, then update the date shown on the page.
