Found on the glittering ultramarine coast that kisses the north-western edge of Samos, a roughly oval-shaped island deep in the Greek stretch of the North Aegean Sea, is the charming port-town of Karlovasi. Built in a wedge between a landscape of steep hills, the town is picture-perfect in its guise as an idyllic Mediterranean community. Traditional white-walled apartment blocks rise in anarchic tiers upon slopes coloured deep-green with Mediterranean pines, while a web of narrow lanes snake idly through the suburbs. The waterfront is lined by a sweeping promenade studded with alfresco restaurants and bars and canvas stalls selling local wares. Beyond them, in the warm shallows of the Aegean Sea, yachts and sailboats bob gently on their moorings. The port in Karlovasi is found at the north-eastern edge of town. It is a small site featuring a handful of piers that jut into a section of the sea sheltered by an arcing breakwater. Incoming ferries dock along the edge of the largest pier where facilities are limited to just a check-in booth and a short stay car-park. Travelling to and from the harbour can prove difficult. The island is hewn from rugged mountains that are split by just a few “main” roads, while most of the villages, Karlovasi included, are designed around a cramped network of streets more suited to pedestrians than cars. A few public buses travel between the towns and villages found nestled in the niches between the hills. Most services travel to the synonymous capital of Samos; this quaint, bay-side town sitting at the end of the number 62 highway which curves away from the heart of Karlovasi and traces the island’s rocky northern coastline east. A number of routes currently operate from the port in Karlovasi throughout the week. Services hosted by Hellenic Seaways sail to several of the islands that speckle the Aegean Sea; including Chios, Limnos and the port-city of Mytilene on the isle of Lesbos to the north; and Mykonos, Syros and the town of Evdilos on Ikaria in the west. A couple of other routes head to the city district of Piraeus and the town of Kavala further away on the Greek mainland.
On the northern coast of the island of Ikaria, one of the small landmasses in the North Aegean region of Greece, is the small town of Evdilos. This picturesque seaside settlement is built around the ultramarine waters of a bay, its shores moulded by a paved promenade into a perfect horseshoe curve. A network of narrow streets leads away from the coast and deeper into town. They weave between the collection of orange-roofed houses that sit upon the steep slope of a shrub-covered hill, atop which people can delight in sweeping views across the Icarian Sea. On one edge of the bay, between the various Greek restaurants and bars that stretch all the way along the charming promenade, is the Evdilos port. It is one of the two major ports on the island, the other found in Agios Kirykos on the opposite coast, and consists of a long pier that tails into the sea from the northern end of the harbour. There are no facilities at the port itself, though an ATM machine can be found a short walk from the entrance. No main roads lead in or out of Evdilos. Instead a smaller route zigzags away from town, heading both east and west to various locations across the island including Ikaria Island Airport just under an hour away. Buses occasionally travel along this route from a stop near Evdilos port, but these services run on a limited schedule. Currently one ferry operator offers routes from the port, offering trips to a number of destinations across the Greek swathe of the Aegean Sea. The majority of the Hellenic Seaways services sail the short way west, heading to the islands of Mykonos and Syros as well as the district of Piraeus on the mainland of Greece. Other services head north to the town of Kavala and east to Karlovassi found on the neighbouring island; all leaving from the port a few times throughout the week.
