Hotel Glicorisa Beach in Pythagorio

The first step was choosing the island. We had never even heard of Samos before. What made it stand out was its unique character: greener in the north, drier in the south, diverse in landscape, far less touristy than other Greek islands, yet rich in cultural and religious sites. Every August, the ancient Greek theatre comes alive with eight concerts featuring a wide range of music. I could go on about the island, but what I really want to highlight here is our hotel – and take a moment to remember it with fondness. It’s hard to say what made the greater impression: the genuinely kind staff (at reception, on the beach, during breakfast and dinner – always with a smile) or the hotel itself. We loved its moderate size, not designed for mass tourism, which gave it a more personal atmosphere. Guests, like us, seemed to want to explore the island and then unwind in this peaceful retreat. It feels like a hidden gem – and I hope it stays that way. Why pay extra for noisy animation and facilities you don’t use, when true relaxation is what you’re looking for? We never felt anything was missing. Breakfasts were simple but satisfying, and dinners offered local dishes that often exceeded our expectations. Everything about the place left a deeper impression than we had hoped for: friendly service, fair prices, beautiful views, cleanliness, attention to rules and safety, a personal approach, and efficient management whenever something needed fixing. And then there are the views – breathtaking, no matter where you stand in the hotel. Staying at Glicorisa, you truly feel Greece all around you.

Fantastic hotel which is set in a breathtaking bay with its own sandy beach and swimming pool area. Family owned and run to a 5 star standard. The rooms, restaurant, gardens and facilities are very well maintained and spotlessly clean. The friendly staff are exceptional and provide drinks, snacks and meals during the day ( waiter/ress service to your sunbed) and an excellent daytime and evening restaurant service - with live entertainment some evenings. If you are going to Samos - you must stay at the Glicorisa and experience the fantastic service and the hospitality of the owners. We will certainly be going back. David & Graham Blackpool, England

This is our 2nd visit to this hotel. The staff was friendly and accommodating as well as informative and friendly. The food was excellent and the rooms were comfortable and clean! If you like waking up every morning from an excellent night sleep to an incredible view of the Aegean Sea, this is the hotel to book! . The complimentary breakfast was diverse and delicious! The food was fresh and so good, served from many spots on the property. Always relaxing and accommodating. Close to Pythagorion and the airport our stay was a memorable one! Our niece was married on the island and the reception was held at this hotel and was not disappointing. Excellent food and service made the evening perfect! Thank you to all the staff for a perfect stay!

Hotel was very good, rooms very comfortable, may be beds are very high for someone. Refridgerator work good as air-condition. Beach is beautiful, pool nearby, sunbeds along pool is free, on beaches is paid.Food was brilliant, service too. Only mistake is noise from airplanes.I would like to visit one more during spring to see Samos with flowers :-)

Nice place, with beautiful beach. Food was excellent. Room was very clean. We had great time...few days water was pretty much cold but it was excellent for swimming. We had really good time in Glicorisa😊

We didn't stay at the hotel but we are locals and we made a visit there for swimming and lunch. The restaurant of the hotel is close to the beach and has a very nice view and friendly atmosphere. The service was great and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We had fresh fish, cooked very nice with wonderful taste, and a lovely Greek salad and tzatziki... Then we went to the beach and we had also great service there. There is always a service on the beach, the sun beds are comfy, clean and free. We definitely recommend that place to everybody!!

Thank you Glicorisa family.We felt us like home and tasted delecious food(sword fish,hamburger,crep,pasta all of them :) ) Thank you for smiling kind faces and helpfully behavior.This was our second time,and now looking forward our third time.

Amazing location on Samos, the bay is protected and the waters are clear and clean, a awesome for swimming , it’s not over crowded, the beach lounges are good quality, you even have a choice to seat on lounges in an elevated grassed area, the service is excellent, with a smile. You have a choice to either order on the beach, or head up to the kafe or tavern.

Rooms definitely needs an upgrade. Bathroom and shower was very small. Not a very well maintained property. Location was great beach was amazing. Staff was very helpful and nice. The food at the restaurant was very delicious.
