Samos - The village of Koumeika on Samos in Greece

Koumeika is a traditional mountain village that you will pass if you drive on the main road between Pirgos and karlovassi and turn south south towards Balos Beach or the holiday resort of Votsalakia. The road runs along some newer, relatively large houses that are built there. to go to the heart of Koumeika itself, you have to take the exit to the village. After leaving the village again, you can for instance drive through to beaches like Perri Beach or Pefkos Beach. The center of Koumeika consists of a nice big square with big trees, an old well and terraces where you have a drink, surrounded by quaint old village houses and flanked by a pretty large church. The church has a blue and white dome and a bell tower. Koumeika is a quiet town without facilities for tourists. If you are looking for an accommodation you need to drive to the beach of Balos. Just outside the village near the beach of Koumeika and around the beach of Balos there are a couple of accommodations for rent (but not very much). After leaving Koumeika towards the beach of Pefkos, just outside the village, you will see a pictureque old church on your right hand side (Byzantine I believe).
