Tribute to Samothraki is hosted by the newspaper Münchner Merkur. The Bavarian newspaper presents Samothraki as an alternative summer destination for those who want a quiet vacation away from the noisy tourist resorts of Greece. Among other things he notes: “Samothraki is a really well hidden option. The island is part of the archipelago in the North Aegean, which also includes popular destinations such as Lesbos, Chios or Samos. Unlike these islands, however, in Samothraki there are no hordes of tourists and crowded beaches. Instead, an almost untouched nature welcomes visitors. A special feature of the island are the waterfalls and the natural pools formed by them – called Baths. Some waterfalls, such as Mikres Vathres, reach up to 35 meters in height. Natural pools are also suitable for swimming.’

And the report continues: “For those interested in culture, a visit is in order the Sanctuary of the Great Gods, north of the settlement of Paleopolis. For the ancient inhabitants of the island it was a place of pilgrimage, but it remains a mystery to this day exactly which gods were worshiped here. There are still ancient ruins that can still be visited today, such as a gate and a temple. Mount Saos in the center of Samothrace is also intertwined with legends. According to the myth, from its top, Poseidon, god of the sea, watched the outcome of the Trojan War.
