Archaeological Museum of Samos

It’s worth visiting this museum to see the momentus ancient findings from the largest temple of Hera.
The museum in Vathi is a must visit for anyone interested in ancient history. Very rich collection and an in-depth look at a place with a long and interesting history. Dominates the Colossian Couros of the 6th century BC!
It hosts excellent exhibits and large size. Worth a visit in the morning.

Pythagoras used his bigger cave for teaching and to provide drinking water but he did not live there because his cave is too high up to the mountain and too steep. The cave goes back about 80 meters but you can walk only 15 to 20 meters until you reach the Holy water. As you go up before the first chapel ( Saint John) there is a small path on the right side that it goes to the cave of Pythagoras. The path is steep and it finishes under a fig tree. Then you must climb 1-2 meters and to follow the orange marks with spray to find entrance. This cave, Pythagoras used for staying because you can live there, it’s more flat than the other. There are three rooms but you can go only in two of them.
