Samothrace's ferry harbour and practical gateway to the island's wild interior.
Kamariotissa is the transport centre of Samothrace, with waterfront tavernas, a striking western sunset and roads to Chora, waterfalls and the sanctuary.
Kamariotissa spreads around the island's main harbour beneath a modern church and low western hills. It has most of Samothrace's essential services, vehicle rental and bus connections, making it the sensible arrival base.
The town is not the island's historic highlight, but its seafood restaurants and open sunset horizon are rewarding after ferries leave. Roads divide here towards Chora and the north-coast sanctuary and waterfalls.
Practical information
Ferries arrive from Alexandroupoli. Reserve vehicles in peak season, stock up before remote camping or hiking and verify return sailings when winds rise.
