Tsamadou Beach is, perhaps, the most popular beach on the whole island of Samos, and it's not hard to see why. The water is at once crystal clear and a vibrant shade of blue-green that has to be seen to be believed. There is a restaurant nearby and plenty of sunbeds, but it tends to be quite busy.

Three, it's the magic number. One: there's Mógan, the south-west municipality which enjoys the best weather on GC as the south is sunniest and the west clearest.

Although Hoi An is perfectly walkable, cycling is an easy way of getting around, if your itinerary extends beyond the Old Town (including An Bang Beach). The Hoi An Old Town is closed off to all motorised traffic (including motorbikes) on most days, between 8.30 and 11.00 and then again 15.00 to 21.30, which means streets can be comfortably navigated by cyclists and pedestrians. Many hotels and guest houses offer bike rental services (or even complimentary bicycle use in some cases), but multiple bike rental shops operate throughout town as well. Prices are normally very reasonable and can be as low as 1 USD per day (depending on the bike). Single-gear bikes will suffice for cycling through town, but mountain bikes are recommended for those who wish to venture into the countryside. While locals will often be seen riding without helmets on, we recommend asking for one at your bike hire provider to ensure safety.
