Casa Cook Samos
Pleasure beach
Pythagoras’s playground
At Casa Cook in the eastern Aegean isle of Samos you can pretty much walk on water…the floors are mostly liquid after all. Concrete pathways are out, in favour of six swimming pools and a number of H2O installations. Other transcendent experiences here include an epicurean adventure at the Beach House (care of its Josper grill), days spent on cabanas suspended above (more) water and sundowners next to a fire-pit. It’s walking distance to the town of Pythagorio, named for Samos’s famous son, where traditional tavernas line the harbour in a suitably ungeometric pattern.
Planes
The island’s airport is a 15-minute drive away from Casa Cook. The hotel can arrange transfers on request. There are some direct flights during the summer, but you may have to connect to a domestic service in Athens.
Automobiles
The hotel is within walking distance of the neighbouring village but if you want to pay homage to Hera or be a Pythagoras pilgrim, a car will be useful. There are public parking spaces nearby.
Worth Getting Out of Bed For
Samos’s trigonometry titan and mathematical mastermind gets his own namesake town here – Pythagorio is within walking distance of the hotel. You’ll also be able to visit the archaeological site where the Temple of Hera once stood, visit vineyards producing the island’s celebrated sweet muscat wines and clamber through the Tunnel of Eupalinos, an aqueduct built under Mount Kastro in the sixth century (also home to some pleasing geometry that would make Pythagoras proud).
