Church of Panagia Krimniotissa - Samothrace

The church of Panagia Krimniotissa is located in Pahia Ammos. It took its name from the high rock on which it is built. The church is impressive for two reasons: because of its location and because of its history. According to tradition, the icon that you can see in the Church had been thrown in the sea by Christian inhabitants of Asia Minor in order to be saved from the looting of the iconoclasts. Around 1700, a ship was sailing around the island of Samothrace, when a storm broke out. The captain saw the icon in the water and got it in the ship. The storm subsided immediately.

Mount Saos

With a height of over 1600 meters, Mount Saos is the highest and most impressive mountain in the Aegean. It takes its name from the pre-Hellenic word "samos" meaning height, and it is also known as Moon, since they say the mountain is so high that it hides the moon. On the slopes you can enjoy a walk through endless forests of trees accompanied by the presence of running water. When you are on the mountain, you can rest in the famous natural pools formed by the waterfalls. The view is breathtaking and the ascent, although difficult, is a life experience.

Vathres - Samothrace

The famous "Vathres" of Samothrace are a number of water sources, which come down from the mountain and form many small waterfalls, which in turn create small natural pools in the rocks. The most famous vathres are the ones of Tsivdogianni River near Therma, where there is also the starting point for the ascent of Mount Saos. The largest stream of the island is "Fonias" and the highest waterfall is "Kleidosi" (35 meters high). Other waterfalls are "Kakia Plaka", "Karia" etc.
