The eastern beaches can be reached quickly from Therma. The beach of Faros, the longest on the southern coast, is only 8 km away and takes about 15 minutes. It is the longest beach on the southern coast and is located in a quiet village where it is pleasant to spend some time. There is a good fish tavern, the Leonidas tavern (tel. +30 22750 32202), right on the beach, as well as a few cafes. A long stretch of coarse sand and pebbles, it enjoys the gentle shade of tamarisk trees, perfect for a cool nap after a good meal.

Beyond Faros, from the road that leads to the airport, signs will show you a 2 km track towards the more isolated eastern cape: the wild beach of Drakanos is appreciated by nudists, while Agios Georgios beach is one of the loneliest on the island (count about 10 minutes walk from the Drakanos tower). To reach them, easy walking paths are indicated. There is no shade or coffee shop on the spot, so bring something to cool down and protect yourself from the sun before leaving.

Both are dominated by the ancient tower of Drakanos, dating back to the 4th century B.C., which offers a breathtaking view of Samos and Fourni. This tower served as a privileged observation post on the Aegean Sea: it still stands today at nearly 13 meters high, with a diameter of more than 8 meters. It is a visit that is worth the detour despite random opening hours (8:30 am - 3:30 pm posted but not necessarily respected ...).
