Life in Samos

Samos offers significant advantages for studying and daily life compared to other urban study environments.

Life in Samos

The island of Samos presents a geographical peculiarity. While most islands in the Aegean have one large settlement that serves as the capital, Samos has two equivalent urban centers. Karlovasi, in the west of the island, and Vathy in the east.

Karlovasi

Karlovasi is a town with a very interesting past, present, and promising future. It is located 35 km from the town of Samos (Vathy). It has a large commercial port, many government services, and is considered the commercial center of the island.

Population

Karlovasi has 10,000 residents, of which 2,500 are members of the university community (students, professors, administrative staff, etc.).

Campus

One could say it is a student campus. Anyone living in Karlovasi needs no more than 15 minutes to reach appointments, work, or entertainment venues, no matter where they are located. "Coffee on the beach" is a part of everyday life.
